- KK7NIL 8d agoThe Anglican Ordinataries are actually a rather mild example as they're still under the Roman Catholic church. The eastern Catholic churches are also in communion with Rome but have a far longer history of independence and also allow married men to become priests, even if they weren't married clergy before joining, which the AO doesn't allow: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Catholic_Churches https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Catholic_Churches
