The church should be using women and married men.  
Married Episcopalian men priests are allowed to convert to Catholic and take on priesthood.

Women were integral to the early church as St. Paul has written;  SEE:
Phoebe 
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

“Phoebe was a first-century Christian woman mentioned by the Apostle Paul in his Epistle to the Romans, verses 16:1-2. A notable woman in the church of Cenchreae, she was trusted by Paul to deliver his letter to the Romans. In writing to the church that almost surely met in her home, Paul refers to her both as a deacon and as a helper or patron of many. This is the only place in the New Testament where a woman is specifically referred to with these two distinctions. Paul introduces Phoebe as his emissary to the church in Rome and, because they are not acquainted with her, Paul provides them with her credentials.”
