They already allow married priests if they convert as a married priest from Orthodoxy. Idk if they allow it if you convert as a married minister from protestantism.
- They do, or at least have done. A guy I worked with a few years ago was ordained as an Anglican minister, and then converted to Catholicism and kept his wife.
  
  I smell a loophole
Or: melt down the Vatican and imprison the leaders of the single largest pedophile ring of the last 2 millenia.
Wow. They're slowly arriving in the 16th century. Guess that counts as progress in their world.
Useless for society
