Question: are married priests (whether converts to the Latin rite or in the eastern rite) allowed to hear the confession of the wives or children under normal circumstances?
 
I simply cannot imagine having a priest in the family (whether by marriage or otherwise) and confessing to that priest. It’d just be too icky 😊
 
I don’t think I’d care that much unless it needed to involve information about someone else such that I would normally want a priest who didn’t know me. But I could feel bad if it were a habitual situation. That could be different.
