I have been posting that the Western Catholic Church should do what the Eastern Catholics/Orthodox do, have married priests.

Perhaps as a temporary measure, older, widowed men of complete orthodoxy, high virtue, worldly success, and with some theological training could be ordained. But for the long term, the Latin Church should maintain the tradition of ordaining never-married, celibate men.
