#1 I say he should be paid, and paid in full....in Zimbabwean dollars.

(Not sure why they didn't kick him out immediately after the wedding ceremony, though.)

#2 Milingo also claimed that he was aware that the church had in the past executed clerics that came up with intentions of marriage whilst serving as priests.

Lucky you then, I'd say. Move along now will you.

#4 I still believe that the RC Church doesn't want the cost of 'additional dependents' as the true reason for not allowing priests to marry.

You can say it's all 'scriptural', but I believe we'll see female clergy before we see married ones.

#5 Actually, Richard, there are a few married Roman Catholic priests. The parish I belonged to a few years ago had one as a parochial vicar (assistant pastor). He had been a minister and converted and was ordained a priest. He needed special permission from the pope.
