Yes, as long as they can marry 12 year old boys.

The gay ones don't care.

Not so much eased as reversed, really... It wasn't until the 2nd Lateran Council (1139) that priests were prohibited from marrying. In the early church, it was a non-issue.
It was also the 4th Lateran Council (1215) that prohibited same-sex marriages (previously, they had been accepted by the Church) and enacted sodomy laws.
Those 12th-16th century Lateran Councils were basically a bunch of old men who cared way too much about the sex lives of others. Anyway, I have no clue how Catholic priests feel about it now (I'd assume most are in favor of it... anything that gives them some release other than kids), but if the current rule were repealed and if priests were to marry, it would hardly be without historical precedent.

I googled, "average age of a priest" and though it was once 35, today, it's 63. Well, it was 63 in 2009. It may be older now if the trend continued. So... Take that for whatever it may mean on the idea of marriage to them.
And yes, I know they got the headline wrong. That's Georgetown University for you, I guess.
