"CHESAPEAKE, VA (Catholic Online) -� On Tuesday, Peter Kemmether,� a married 62 year old father of four children was ordained to the Holy Priesthood by Bishop Gerhard Ludwig M�ller.� Fr. Peter was granted a dispensation from the�canonical discipline of celibacy attached to priestly ordination. He had been a Protestant Pastor who came into the full communion of the Catholic Church as the fruit of a sincere search for the fullness of the Christian faith. On June 6, 2010, I read a story in the Philadelphia Enquirer entitled 'The Priest and his Mrs.'��concerning now Fr. Philip Johnson,�a Lutheran Pastor for 19 years, who�followed a similar path. He was ordained for the Diocese of Camden with the same exception, under the sponsorship and�invitation of Bishop Joseph Galante."
