The church is acting hypocritically when it accepts a married priest who converts to Catholicism.They only do that to subvert the protestant or orthodox wings of Christianity. Its another political move on their part.Did it ever occur to you that since you accept the fact that the Church is evolving that Christ is sending a message today which is , "Please clean up my church and bring in the women and the married men". The vineyard needs some new workers.
That's funny, I thought they did it because those men had a calling to the ministry and have no other way to support their families.
What do you call it when a married Protestant minister enters the Catholic church as a layman, because he wants to go where he's free to hear and believe the truth? I'm thinking specifically of former Episcopal priests who aren't willing to subscribe to calling homosexual acts anything but "sin", as they're being forced to do in the ECUSA.
Well, if it's some grand conspiracy to suck "good men" away from Orthodoxy and/or Protestantism, then it's failing miserably. Do you know how many married men are permitted to be priests in the Latin Church every year? Probably less than 1, on average. By the way, all this talk reminds me of the simple fact that it's not the "Catholic Church" that prohibits married priets, it's the "Latin Rite of the Catholic Church". There are approximately 20 rites in the Church, most (if not all) except for the Latin permit married priests. So, at worst, there's a "problem" with ONLY the Latin Rite; NOT with the Church as a whole.

I will admit it's possible; anything is possible with God. It's highly unlikely though, especially the part about "women priests" (assuming that's what you meant). That's about as possible as denying the Trinity. The discipline of celibacy might be changed, although that's highly unlikely.
