Married Catholic Priests Still Committed to Calling (washingtonpost.com)
Neither of the Smiths is a practicing Catholic, but both are spiritual and believe in Christ, Smith said. And his 27-year-old wife, a hairstylist, comes from a family that is "hard-core Italian Catholic," he said. For these reasons, they wanted a priest at their marriage, which took place at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Springfield.
There were readings from Ecclesiastes and the Psalms, Smith recalled. Then Cerrato read the words to the 1985 hit "Power of Love" by Huey Lewis & the News. "It was neat," said Charles Smith, "and fitting."
