The article is not talking about the Eastern Rites, but the RCC. Are you saying the RCC has to change because others do it differently? No, how about married Episcopals go join the Eastern Rite churches.

WHEN you get married shouldn’t determine whether you can be a Priest with a wife or not in the RCC. That kind of defeats the purpose, doesn’t it?

You are apparently unaware that the Roman Catholic Church has multiple rites and that priests in the Eastern Rites are just as Roman Catholic as their leader, Pope Benedict. There are numerous Eastern Rite Roman Catholics in the USA, including conservative columnist George Weigel.
