It is to me a great double standard: Eastern Rite churches are communities of eastern Christians in union with the Roman Catholic church. Also known as Uniate churches, they retain their own distinctive spiritual, liturgical, and canonical traditions. In addition to differences from the Roman (Western) rite in liturgy, many of the Eastern Rite churches permit a married clergy.

Okay, I read the link but can find nothing on Uniate churches following the Orthodox error of allowing divorce (albeit "only" twice)...
