<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#800000 size=2>While the Vatican has carved out an
exception to its clerical celibacy rule for these former Anglican now Roman
Catholic priests, it has yet to permit married ex-Anglican Roman Catholic
bishops. Married ex-Anglican bishops functioning as Roman Catholic bishops would
not be unprecedented, however. In December 1959, Pope John XXIII received a
married ex-Anglican priest consecrated as a bishop of the schismatic Igreja
Católica Apostólica Brasileira into the Roman Catholic Church.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#800000 size=2>Married with seven children, Bishop
Salomão Barbosa Ferraz was not re-ordained upon his reception in the Catholic
Church and upon being named Titular Bishop of Eleutherna on May 10, 1963 was not
re-consecrated. Active at the Second Vatican Council, Bishop Ferraz appears to
have been the only modern day married Roman Catholic bishop.</FONT></DIV>
