The facts are known.

probably other married Anglican clergy enter the full and visible communion of the Catholic Church, through the canonical figure ordinariates personal and many of these married men be ordained Catholic priests, a novelty in the Catholic Church. News which has sought to contain within the perimeter ordinariates personal.

But the married clergy is not a novelty, indeed, for years or centuries is included in the Catholic Church.
For centuries this was the married clergy of the Eastern Catholic Churches.
decades is once again present the married clergy even in the churches of the Roman Rite, since Vatican II has restored the diaconate which can be allowed both single and married men.
Perhaps the massive presence of a married clergy, not so much in terms of quantity but also quality, quality massive presence of married clergy, support the revision of ecclesiastical law that prevents married men admission to the priesthood. The

more than enough reason to allow married men to the priesthood is the Word of God First, it proposes the authoritative example of Peter, an apostle married, as the Synoptics relate that Jesus healed the mother-in-law of Simone (cf. Mt 8.14, Mk 1.30, Lk 4.38), the other by the rule that Paul, an apostle married, send Timothy to the choice of ministers to order: " bishop then must be blameless, the husband of a one woman, (...) can lead well his own house, having his children submissive and respectful "(1 Tim 3,2.4).

Overcoming this human norm of celibacy, does not diminish the great gift of celibacy. Rather would recover and enhance its nature arbitrary, as is indicated by simple and clear words of our Lord: " Not everyone understands this word, but only those to whom it is given. In fact there are eunuchs who have been so from the womb of the mother, and there are others that have been made so by men, and there are others who have made themselves that way for the kingdom of heaven. Who can understand, understand "(Mt 19:11-12) . Purely free of celibacy for the kingdom confirmed by the words which the apostle Paul speaks of " I wish everyone were like me, but each man receives his gift from God, who in one way, and one of another ( 1 Cor 7:7).
