90% of this article is a strange interpretation, well, strange from the standpoint of an orthodox (Roman) Catholic, although perfectly understandable from a liberal Protestant viewpoint.  That part would be the bulk of the article that focused on homosexuality and women with regard to ordination.  The other 10%, dealing with the ordination of married men, on the other hand, while very interesting and perhaps a likely expectation, is nonetheless a speculation, at least as it concerns the Roman rite.  Eastern Catholic Churches, readers and NCR should be reminded, ordain married men.  And even in the Roman rite, there is a growing number of married priests.  The indicator of a large shift allowing married men to become Roman priests will be when the Latin Church drops the modifiers when referring to deacons.  We will no longer have "permanent" or "transitional" deacons.  We will simply have deacons.  Some will be married, some will not.  Some will go on for ordination, some will not.
