None of this is as off-putting as our visiting priest's giddy announcement during Mass that he is thrilled to be one of the few married priests. I was so disconcerted that during Mass I pulled out my iphone and googled "married Catholic priests". Turns out you can have a bunch of minor children (he has 8) and a wife and, if you are ordained by the Episcopal church, you can become a Catholic priest. Lucky us!! I couldn't even receive Communion, I was so upset. It wasn't even so much that he's married with family distractions, but he gloated about it and purposely disrupted Mass with his announcement because he thought it was funny. At the end of Mass this poser explained the glories of John Paul for kindly opening the priesthood to men of other ordinations.
The mostholyfamily website was right. The last six popes are anti-popes and are part of the apostasy that is destroying the Catholic church.
I'm just sayin'. : ]

You are aware that Eastern Catholics have always had married Priests? There is nothing wrong with it. Now violating the sanctity of the mass is another thing entirely!

I’m sorry but I really am glad to take these men into the Priesthood. You do understand that widowers can join the Priesthood and that Eastern Rite has married Priests as well, right?

I’d like to see that source on the last Popes. I really can’t believe it.
Our Archdiocese has had several married priests. In fact, one was ordained last year — grown children and wife were also in attendance.
For what it’s worth — one of our married priests died while at a Convocation of Priests. All the priest grieved his death. No partiality was shown at all.

PS. I think it would have been the gloating that would turn me off too.

Report this man to the bishop so that he may be issued some needed fraternal correction.
