Priests in the Latin Rite, of course, cannot be married at all.

Well, I'll have to be restocking the library with some Church history books (long story).
Anyway, the one thing I wanted to add was that if you are a married Episcopal priest, you can BECOME a Catholic priest and still be married. So there ARE married Roman Catholic priests.

Good post Lebell, but I've certainly got to take issue with this portion of it. I feel it is worthy pointing out that in Christian theology (I realize that isn't the only one being discussed) God did indeed intend to create a perfect world. The biblical narrative clearly begins with one. Apparently it was we humans who chose to deviate from God's intended purpose.

That assumes of course that you believe in a literal biblical narative, tho.
As to my own theology, I don't see how a baby can "choose" to deviate in an orthodox "original sin" sort of way, but I CAN see how they can deviate by doing self destructive activities which as they grow older, affect the people around him/her as well.
