He can still go back and be a Priest if he so wish, The first Pope, Pope Peter, the bible record it that he has a mother inlaw, which means he was married.
its just a church tradition, in christianity there is nothing like tradition.
[/quote . No, my brother. He cannot go back again. Peter and few other Disciples were already married before they joined Jesus Christ and became His Disciples. The Disciples then devoted all their life to following Jesus Christ. It did not mean they couldn't attend to some welfare matters occasionally. For instance, Jesus Christ healed Peter's wife of a malaria sickness. Once you join Christ fully as His Disciple, you have to leave father and family to readily take on a preoccupation of Discipleship. It is not by force for you to be a Reverend Father, indeed, you need the blessing of God to be One. And once you have accepted that special Grace of God to be a Reverend Father, there is no Turning Back. If you stay therein, and still continue your earthly profilgacy, you are attracting a Curse on yourself; to avoid thus curse, our Brother has done the right thing.
