I've been engaged in the RCIA and Engaged Couples ministry for seven years.

By the way, do you teach those new Catholics that the Church aught to be ordaining married men, or are you repectful enough to keep dissenting opinions in check during your ministry? This is not an accusation, I really want to know. I've seen people teach all sorts of things to Initiates, sort of taking advantage of the opportunity to recruit people to their causes.

No. I bring in the married ex-Episcopalian priest convert from the neighboring parish and let him address the issue. He speaks about the charism of celibacy, and how his priesthood is lived out in the married state.
