St. Paulinus of Nola, Father of the Church, ordained priest while married to Therasia

Married to Therasia c. 381

While married, he was ordained priest on Christmas c. 394 by the Bishop of Barcelona.

Canonical dispute claim concerning St. Paulinus' ordination to presbyterate exists here: Source: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Catholic_Encyclopedia_(1913)/St._Paulinus,_Bishop_of_Nola (29 Jan. 2020)

However, regardless of the circumstances of the claim about the liceity of St. Paulinus's priestly ordination, the main point for the purposes of this blog is to show that the Bishop of Barcelona was willing to ordain this Father of the Church to the priesthood as the Church intends.  

Hence, he was a married Latin rite priest.  

Then, after his wife died St. Paulinus was consecrated bishop c. 410
