Ave Maria Radio presents Christ is the answer with Father John Ricardo.

One of my favorite things to do as a priest is to journey with our brothers and sisters as they explore becoming Catholic in the RCIA program.

The oddity is that oftentimes those who come into the church are the best educated Catholics that

there are. It seems that what we need is something like RCIA for Catholics, for those of us

who have grown up with the faith and have never really learned it. So I invite you to join

those coming into the church as they learn about the beauty of our faith and hope as well that

it will help to draw you ever closer to the God

who is truth and love.

On this RCAA for Catholic's edition, Father Ricardo explains the sacrament of marriage.

I'll start with the easy one, which is why don't Roman Catholic priests marry?

We do, actually.

There are Latin right Catholic priests who marry.

They have to appeal to Rome for dispensation.

But I know several guys personally.

Typically what they were was they were Anglican ministers

or perhaps they were Lutheran pastors

who have come into the church.

They are married.

And that is their life.

Their life is ministry and they've served in this way.

So they can personally petition

the Holy See to ask the Holy Father to grant them permission to get ordained as Catholic priests.
