It is proper to refer to the Eastern Catholic Churches, in the plural. Each of the Eastern Catholic Churches are a full church in their own right (not RITE>>>>LOL). The Catholic Church is a communion of CHURCHES.
So the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church consists of the Western Catholic Churches? (plural?)and Eastern Catholic Churches? : ) Is that correct? I just don’t want to get confused with the Orthodox Churches.

I thought there is only one Western Catholic Church?
 
No, if you remarry she will be your second wife. Example: “My first wife died in an accident 20 years ago. I met Julia, my second wife when I moved to Baltimore.” The Church does not ordain anyone who has ever had a second wife. 🙂
the husband of one wife -----> in total or one current wife? How did you make that distinction?

I make that distinction based on the Church Fathers and based on all of the Eastern Churches that ordain married men. The consensus is that a priest cannot be married more than once in his lifetime if he is to be a priest.
