Yawn, rolls eyes*. Sorry, but this is just hypothetical. And not definate proof that celibacy is over for priests.

Secular priests could be drawn from the ranks of married men…as already happens in the Eastern Churches and in the Anglican (Catholic) Ordinariates. Religious priests, by definition, will always be celibate.
The Eastern Churches have married priests but also have a very strong monastic (celibate) tradition.
