My mom knows a couple of priests in Ilocos who are married and have their own families. I've met them and i can say that they have a helluva lot more personality and are more interesting than the average unattached priest we have here. They drink, play sports and get around town, usually acting like your average citizen. These guys wouldn't even be recognized as priests until they get up to the pulpit. Hell, i even sold an airsoft rifle to one of them a few years ago.
Maybe there's just something about letting priests live ordinary lives when away from the church?
