Not unheard of, but infrequent ... this story from Germany. Church allows married clergy from other Christian sects who've converted to become ordained.
Last year a married father of four was ordained as a priest in Regensburg, southern Germany.
Klueting's ordination comes as theologians and Catholic politicians in Germany have pressured the Vatican to end priestly celibacy and the German church struggles to overcome a wave of clerical sex abuse scandals and a priest shortages.
