Ah, I see. So presumably the Church is ok with that? Neato. How do other priests feel about the special treatment? I’m curious because I didn’t know the Catholic Church made any exceptions for this kind of thing.
Well, first off, let's look at the other side. Many of the Pastoral Provision provision married priests, I think, are strong defenders of clerical celibacy. If anyone ought to know how hard the alternative is, it would be them.
As far as others, there are men who left the priesthood to marry who resent the fact that these "outsiders" are able to be married and function as priests.
But the bottom line is that every celibate Catholic priest knew exactly the burden he was accepting when entered the seminary and when he was ordained.
