For many people, "married Catholic priest" is going to sound like a bit of an oxymoron. After all, don't Catholic priests have to take a vow of celibacy? In this video, I talk with Fr. Dwight Longenecker, a former Anglican who converted to Roman Catholicism and was ordained into the Roman Catholic priesthood, all while being a husband and father. In this video we explore why the Catholic church allows some married priests, whether the Catholic church will ever reverse their discipline of celibate priesthood, and what it's like to be a married priest. We had a great time, and I hope you enjoy this. I'd love to know in the comments, should the Catholic church allow more married priests, or should priests have to be celibate?
