Instead we hear Bishop Kenneth Nowakowski (Ukrainian Diocese of New Westminster, British Columbia) discuss his experience of the married priesthood in the Ukrainian Catholic Church in Canada. Food for thought as Roman Catholics contemplate their own married priesthood, which, say I, just may come sooner than later.

By way of background, a married priesthood is the uninterrupted tradition of this Church in its homeland, mostly in western Ukraine. When married priests followed Ukrainian immigrants to North America, Roman bishops were scandalized--imagine Father X introducing himself to Roman Bishop Y shortly after arriving, and adding, "Excellency, I would like you to meet my wife." It wasn't long before Roman bishops ganged up and pressured Rome to forbid North American born Ukrainian priests from being married, a prohibition that has only been lifted recently.

In the intervening years, some bishops sent some married men for ordination to Europe, returning home to serve in NA.
