Hot, hot, hot:

MILWAUKEE – The Archdiocese of Milwaukee has hired a married Roman Catholic priest with children — a first in the archdiocese’s history.

The priest, Father Michael Scheip, and his wife have juvenile and adult sons and are moving from the Diocese of Venice, Fla. She has accepted a job here.

Former Lutheran minister, he became a Catholic in 1988, was ordained in 1993 for Newark.

Archdiocese of Newark, N.J., by now-retired Cardinal Theodore McCarrick of Washington, D.C., Dolan’s letter says. He is also a former Lutheran minister.

He’s one of about 100 married priests ordained in U.S. since John Paul II created an exception in 1980 that allows married Lutheran and Anglican or Episcopal priests who have converted to Roman Catholicism to become priests,

God hath wrought something here of more than usual importance, I’d say.
