This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

There have been a few exceptions granted for clergy from other denominations
converting and becoming priests, but that is very rare.

The relevant question here -- and it's one which I don't know the
answer to -- is,
"what if a widower becomes a priest and it turns out his wife isn't dead after
all?" My guess is that this would become an exception, because neither the
sacrament of matrimony nor that of holy orders can be "undone."
