One more thing:  in this EC parish I belonged to, we always knew when one or the other of the rectors was having marital problems. That's really hard to hide in an EC congregation.  The rector and his wife had a severely handicapped child.  They were at odds on how to care for the child -- keep him at home or put him in a treatment facility.  This disagreement went on for years.  No one condemned either the rector or his wife (and neither did the rector or his wife talk about each other to the members of the congregation -- the disagreement was between them and them alone, which we all respected them for).  In fact, there was something very good about knowing that even the best of us are not perfect by any means.  This congregation thrived (and is still thriving) with married, imperfect clergy.  I simply cannot see why The RCC can't have married priests.  Other than The RCC thinks that people who have sex are lower on the holiness ladder.  For The RCC, it's always about sex.  Sigh.
