IF they are an Eastern Orthodox priest (I think that's the one), already married, and the convert to the RCC, they can stay married and be a priest.

I would expect that this "big change" will be something like this.

The problem is that a lot of the rules are from prior Popes saying infallible things, so you can't really change that. It's time for the RCC to just go away.
