The Hard Realities of Anglo Catholics of Crossing the Tiber

I think Father Longenecker has a good reality post at Fellowship of St Gregory the Great?

Among them that jumped out-
These married former Anglicans already occupy the precious few chaplaincy posts which have a salary that could support a married man and his family. In addition, few Catholic bishops (even assuming that they are well disposed to former Anglicans) would wish to imbalance their diocesan list of clergy with an overwhelming number of married men.

Ahh the question of $$$$$$$. I hear a lot of Catholics talk about how we should have Married priests. Yet they are often in Parishes that does not pay a living wage to their LAY folks working in the Church.
