I see a problem here.  Most of these issues are theological - and rightly
rigid.  Married priests are a discipline issue.  They should not
be lumped together.  Priests in certain special circumstances can already be
married.  In theory, the married priest stance could change - and can be
legitimately requested by faithful catholics (keeping in mind that the Church
is *not* a democracy).  The other issues require rejecting catholic doctrine to
be part of the corresponding lobbies.  (Some women's ordination advocates *may*
have another definition of ordination in mind.  But given the prevalance of
Goddess worship, it's probably rare.)
