re: St. Louis King of France (BR) school to close at end of academic year

There are preachers on every corner, but not ministers who spent 7-9 years studying philosophy and theology. The priesthood is brutal, and as someone who knows priests and those studying to be priests, I would never put a wife and family through that.

The Church would have to make some major changes for married priests that would cause more problems than it would solve in my opinion. For instance, good luck paying a man with a family to feed what they make now.

I also have met married priests (Anglican converts) who are very against the idea. It kills their family. Working hours for a priest are basically the exact times fathers and husbands are expected to be home.
