Dear djs,

Neither of us can make any assumptions in this or any other case as we simply cannot.

I was making a general point that IF one bishop or jurisdiction refuse to ordain someone because of a zeal for celibacy (and I've met several EC bishops with such inspirations) then there is nothing wrong with a person seeking ordination in another EC jurisdiction.

We also have RC's who wanted to be married priests and they are excellent priests.

I wasn't casting aspersions on the Byzantine Catholic Church, as the UGCC has bishops who are against married candidates for ordination.
