so what are the exact rules of the Church concerning marriage and the priethood? because i know that it is possible under some circumstances to be married and a priest at the same time. But im not sure what those circumstances are.

I'm a different rite from the majority of you guys here. My rite does allow the ordination of married men, but there's a few caveats of course.

This would be the seminary I'd go to IF I do decide to seek ordination.

You're right. Priest can't get married. It goes along with their vow of celibacy. As I understand it, the priests are honoring Jesus because Jesus was celibant and never married.

We could ask. But more than likely it would be filled with people trying to prove that us Catholics worship Mary or something.

Thats a really nice idea, again maybe a seperate room would be handy. Also, it wouldnt really work with typing, we'd all need mics probably
