so you were just playing the devli's advocate?

In my entire life as a Catholic (spent participating in 3 different dioceses), I've never encountered a single married priest, nor have I known anyone who has, nor have I even *heard* of a married priest.

Do you have any idea what the figures are for the married priests in the Catholic Church? I just don't see how the case can be made that Rome allowing converted married men to become priests somehow undercuts the requirement of celibacy for entrants into the priesthood.
