Catholic AnswerSome priest do wear a ring, but this is a personal decision, and was forbidden under the old Code of Canon Law (which was replaced in 1983).

Catholic priests may wear rings, with the exception of wedding rings (unless the priest was once in a different denomination, and was married, latter being accepted into Catholicisim as a priest, still being married).

Generally, it is the bishop who wears rings, and not the priests. The symbolism is that the bishop, in the person of Christ, is wedded to the Church.

Roman Catholic AnswersAs a rule, priests do not wear wedding band, prior to 1983, they were forbidden by Canon Law from wearing any type of ring, other than a Bishop or an Abbot wearing his ring of Office. Some priest might wear a wedding band to remind themselves that they are married to their churches, but this would be a purely personal thing.

No, priests don't marry. Only permanent deacons are married. Bishops have rings but the rings aren't wedding rings. See discussion...
