It is possible to have a married Pope? Perhaps a Bishop “promoted” from one of the Eastern Church’s? Or is the Vatican strictly Latin Rite?
 
Hi,

Theoretically, it is possible. St. Peter was married. But as to the Eastern Churches, their bishops do not come from the married clergy, but only from their monks.

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
