Do priests have the right to marry?
A Catholic man chooses whether to marry and live as a husband and father of a family, or whether to enter the priesthood. If he chooses to enter the priesthood, he takes a vow of celibacy, that is to remain unmarried. If a Catholic priest and his bishop agree that entering the celibate priesthood was a mistake on his part, the priest may be laicized and released from his vows, that is, he is no longer a member of the Catholic hierarchy but a layman, and free to marry. A fair number of (former) priests did this during the 1960s and 1970s - left the priesthood and married.
