VIRI PROBATI PATHWAY: Grant dispensations, if bishops ask, starting with married deacons with a fruitful ministry to ordain as priests (salary: $0) after formation, using Canon 1047 (while respecting the Latin Rite celibacy norm).

Reflections: ALL Children of Married Clergy are Precious, Beloved Members of the Flock of God!
Anglican Priest Ven. Dr. Dave
It is very unfortunate that children of celibate priests -- and there are thousands of children born of celibate priests -- feel this Cross in the public.
But it does not have to be this way.
CHILDREN OF ALL CELIBATE/MARRIED PRIESTS ARE LOVED BY HOLY MOTHER CHURCH!!!
There are children of married clergy (married permanent deacons and married priests that were Protestant converts to the Catholic Faith) that, more often than not, do not carry this wound. To heal and address the thousands upon thousands of children of priests, the Latin Church thus should open the priesthood to married men today.
And, regardless of whether the Latin Church allows more married priests, ALL children of clergy (regardless of canonical status) are PRECIOUS, BEe 3LOVED MEMBERS OF THE FLOCK OF GOD!!!
