I would say look to the Councils of Elvira and Carthage. I would also have you look to Pope Siricius and St. Ambrose.<br /><br />Next I would look to the Synoptic Gospels as well as Ephesians and Revelation. There is your jumping off point.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03009356356243871772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371869226918137688.post-9507492495637266222013-03-02T20:34:14.359-06:002013-03-02T20:34:14.359-06:00What were the expectations in the early Church wit...What were the expectations in the early Church with the Western Rite? I'm trying to understand from the perspective of validity, especially if a married priest must live continently with his wife. Why would the Church allow that when living continently in itself, goes against the expectations of marriage? <br /><br />-LaceagateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371869226918137688.post-15841359505033201862013-03-02T08:04:50.563-06:002013-03-02T08:04:50.563-06:00Lacegate,

If one chooses to enter into the Latin Rite priesthood as a convert, then one should embrace the charism which exists. That is the key.<br /><br />As far as the East goes, their charism is different and therefore their rules differ slightly. I have no issue with that. The key is charism and looking to what the early Church determined regarding married priests.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03009356356243871772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371869226918137688.post-58261302944001391192013-03-02T03:12:32.862-06:002013-03-02T03:12:32.862-06:00I have to say, I do agree with you. There is a hug...I have to say, I do agree with you. There is a huge controversy on priests living continently with their wives and I think priests shouldn't have to choose between two vocations. <br /><br />Yet, does this truly cover the issue of priests who convert from other faiths and are married, such as the Anglican and Episcopalian? How would we allow them to convert? They're already married, so it's not the same situation deacons are in, but should they be able to retain their vocations as priests? Same questions for the Eastern Rite Catholics.<br /><br />-LaceagateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371869226918137688.post-74068509986902927432013-02-25T09:36:25.678-06:002013-02-25T09:36:25.678-06:00This should be read in the Conclave.This should be read in the Conclave.David Nandellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02788259622724181731noreply@blogger.com
