And all those in the future will still need to be celibate. It is only opening the doors for those who are currently married. I'm no lawyer either, but that's how it was explained to me.

I'm not a canon lawyer, but as a Catholic layperson, I don't understand how the intellectual honesty of a celibacy requirement for Catholic priests can be defended in the face of these broad exceptions for protestant clergy converts.
