OK, I think this one broke my brain

Spanish Catholic Church ordains married priest


It sounded cool, and a step forward for the Catholic Church as a whole, until I read this passage:

In 1980, Pope John Paul allowed married Episcopal clergy to join the Catholic Church and serve as priests. After the Church of England decided to ordain women as priests in the early 1990s, several Anglican priests in Britain opposed to that move converted to Catholicism and the church modified its celibacy rule to admit the married clergymen.


Who, what, now?
