The One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Eastern Orthodox Church has allowed its priestly clergy to enter into Holy Matrimony before any of them expect to be ordained into the priesthood.

It's a more natural thing.

Then, if the priests have children, it's an extended delight!

One current priest has multiple boys. 😍

One prior priest has four--two and two. 😊

We have had and continue to have a tight, loving, lovely, fun-filled at times, delightfully close relationship with them. I was a bridesmaid in one of the daughter's wedding.

Sorry but, sheesh! This Roman Rite status quo steams my veggies.
