I am married and I want to be a Catholic priest. Is this possible?

Hi I am married for 2 years and my marriage is wonderful and happy. Lately I'm listening to God's call to help others. I am very religious and I do believe in God and Jesus, our Savior. I believe in the messianic leadership of the Pope.
  Therefore, I want to be a Catholic priest, but I love my wife very much and intend to stay married to her: it is the most wonderful person in the world has all the good qualities of women and women should be: intelligent, very beautiful friend, funny, selfless, hardworking, responsible.
  By the way, she is Protestant (Lutheran) and she supports me 100% on this item

    You must have and my country Orthodox.I Orthodox.In Catholics and the Orthodox priests may have wives, except Patriarchs can not. Religion.Convert Orthodoxy is a nice, quiet and mysterious best for us.

    You may possibly become a deacon, or possibly a Catholic priest in an Eastern rite church. Make an appointment with the local bishop to discuss this.
      However, if your wife is not Catholic, it would be unlikely to get permission. A friend of ours, who was an Anglican priest, wanted to be Catholic and remain a priest, but because his wife was a Baptist, Bishop believes that this is his being a priest would be too much of a difficulty in their marriage, so do not let happen.

    Nope. It is not possible, but I suggest you be a deacon. Next best thing. You will not be able to consecrate the bread and wine or hear confessions, but you can do everything else - to give sermons, baptized people, counsel, provide spiritual guidance, marriages, etc.

  4. Martin B says:

    One thing I recommend is to become a deacon in the Catholic Church. You can still remain married, but the answer God's call.

    It can become an Anglican priest (Episcopal), which is practically the same, without the Pope.

    Why not just dress like Sants Claus around the holidays … That would be a Goodway to sell some garbage and fill people with BS …
      Also, you do not feel guilty about accepting money from them "for the Church" … Cough Cough ….
