This is very interesting for those who study religion and history. This really could be the beginning of a new sect of christianity being born right in front of our eyes. Its not traditional roman catholic, and its not a moonie church, but something else entirely. Its a church that still calls them self catholic, but allows married priests. A new sect is borne, can't wait to see if it lasts.

But it already exists! It is called Anglican on one side of the question, and Orthodox on the other! Bot allow married clergy, and both have extremely close ties to Catholicism.

Orthodox Christianity has a far better claim to the proper authority than this priest does.
