Can priests marry?

[Asuno]

I recently heard that each “rite” in the Catholic Church is different, like the Coptic Catholic Church is different from the Roman Catholic Church, and so on, which is fine. But then I heard that priests in some “rites” can marry. Is that true?

No. It is true that in the Eastern Catholic churches married men may be ordained. It is even true that in the Latin church, with the necessary dispensation from the discipline of celibacy, a few married men may be ordained to the priesthood (ordinarily, former Protestant ministers who have entered the Church and are already married). But once ordained, an ordained man may not marry. If the wife of a married priest or deacon predeceases him, he may not remarry.
