She was speaking of RC priests who have left the priesthood so as to get 
married - not retired priests. We have a friend who was an RC (Paulist) 
priest who got married, and then had a successful career as an Episcopal 
priest in the Dio. of Mass.

Of course, allowing RC priests to get married and continue to serve would 
solve their clergy shortage in a flash.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean here, I guess, but I can tell you  that
retired RC priests are generally kept very busy liturgically, and also  perf
orm
hospital visitations, etc.  In fact a number of such retirees have  said
words
to the effect that they are busier since retirement than before.
