Hi Cecil Thanks for the article on married RC priests in the UK. I had met one officiating at a wedding six months ago.
Last week, at a supermarket, I met a cheerful Goan friend who lives fairly close to my home. We exchanged lots of pleasantries and especially about the weather which is uncannily warm and sunny so late in November. However, he was glum about just one thing. He told me that the parish priest of the church was now a married priest. My friend said he stopped attending church as he could not accept this new fact. Is there a way to help this guy out of his dilemma now that the priests have sorted out theirs?
