Is there a Roman Catholic sect that allows priests to marry?
Generally speaking, Catholic priests are not allowed to marry. The Catholic Church under Rome is made up of two parts, the Latin Rite and the Eastern Rite. The Pope in Rome is the head of both Rites, and they are equal. Pope John Paul II referred to the church in that "it breathes with both lungs" (Latin & Eastern Rites). The Latin Rite follows the law of celibacy but the Eastern Rite does not. The guidelines for the Eastern Church are as follows: 1. Once ordained, the man may not marry. 2. A married man may enter the seminary and be ordained a priest, however, if his wife dies, he may not remarry. 3. A married priest may not become a Bishop. Recently, the Latin Rite, has made some exceptions to the rule of celibacy. Some Anglican priests who were married wished to convert to Catholicism. They were re-ordained to the Catholic priesthood and remained married. However, like the Eastern Rite, if their wife dies they are not permitted to remarry or be advanced to Bishop.
