"A married WOman is ordained a Maronite Catholic priest"

Otherwise, same old Catholic church, doing its own thing for the guys that run it.

This might open the door a bit and I think it's a very positive step.

have been ordained priests before this. It's unusual but not unheard of. The vow of celebacy is absolute, it has to be a "chaste marriage" with no sex. Good luck policing that one. And good luck to a wife who finds herself relegated to the role of laundress and toilet cleaner, any affection banned because it might lead to sex.

It's the way aristocratic women their husbands no longer wanted were packed off to convents to finish their lives as nuns, freeing the husband to marry some trophy babe. Once you've declared, or been forced to declare an end to sex, you're eligible for the religious life.

The moral tapdancing that Rome does is amazing.

Still, the Maronites are an eastern rite and they've had married priests in unchaste marriages before. They've just avoided it here in the US.

Where did you study?

But what about those 3000 and 2000 year old translated and re-translated books and all that?

Do you doubt them as much as you doubt some guy on the internet who claims to have some knowledge on a topic?

His parish is St Luke's in El Cajon, CA
He was married divorced got an annulment became a priest. He has two kids and six grand kids.
I never asked him how limp his dick was though.

Like ass holes everyone has one

unless he actually demonstrates some knowlege on a topic. So far, the only knowledge you've communicated is that you're hostile to religion in general and the RCC in particular.

We're waiting,

about a requirement for marital celibacy. The guy's young, and his wife's pretty. I think their 8-year-old-daughter can probably expect a sibling or two.

And good on the church for supporting this. I hope it's a harbinger of things to come.

Beautiful family.

It may be only one step, but it's firmly in the right direction.

especially in the US. I think politics had something to do with his ordination, his being the highest rank lay people can achieve plus an assistant to the bishop. It remains to be seen what Rome thinks about it, although I rather think Pope Francis will duly ignore it.

Rome has had a priest drought for decades, that's one reason they kept moving pedophiles around, usually after a few weeks at places like the Servants of the Paraclete right here in NM in the hope that prayer, fasting and reflection would cure them of their unnatural urges. Ha.

They're going to have to admit first married priests and then women if they want to stay in business.

After all, the Anglicans are basically the same church but without any regard to Rome and they've had married priests for a very long time and have not suffered for it. Now they've admitted women and gays to the priesthood and they're actually doing a bit better since they're now attracting the more liberal believers.

Do you know anything about her at all?

I'll leave the speculation about wilted peckers to you but married priests and deacons are not celibate. You're probably thinking about the prohibition against remarriage if widowed.

BTW, a chaste marriage is not a sexless marriage. It is a marriage in which each partner is faithful to the other.

I don't even know where to begin with the rest of your post.

Would that be one where one or both spouses commit adultery?

... the US was the backward, conservative area? That's the message I get from the article.

That's when the Vatican acquiesced to the much larger, heavily Irish, U.S. Latin Rite hierarchy who were complaining that married priests were "confusing" their parishioners.
