The tradition in East and West is that bishops are celibate. I just wonder if the priests are allowed to marry where they will get celibate bishops from unless they have monasteries or other religious institutes.Fr Michael Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320336535138538635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-81158922427374867482009-10-23T00:29:16.258+01:002009-10-23T00:29:16.258+01:00This is a good question.

There are rumours flying around that the "Anglican Ordinariate" will be able to keep their own identity on a large number of matters.<br /><br />Clerical celibacy is obviously out (but, bizarrely, not for bishops).<br /><br />There is no obligation to use the Roman Rite (either traditional or Novus Ordo).<br /><br />But the rumours are that they will be allowed to keep their own marriage discipline (ie remarriage of divorcees).<br /><br />And that they will be able to keep their own tradition on contraception (so no signing up to Humanae Vitae).Thomas Morenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-77534495743332924802009-10-22T22:35:39.665+01:002009-10-22T22:35:39.665+01:00You are right to raise the issue of possible probl...You are right to raise the issue of possible problems. These two questions were raised yesterday: what will happen to Catholic priests who have left the Church, married and entered the Anglican Ministry and now return under the new arrangement?<br />What about Archbishop John Hepworth, the Primate of TAC - he is an ex-Catholic priest, married, divorced and re-married and now has three children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
