In the 50s and 60s, my family belonged to a Ruthenian-rite Byzantine Catholic church which was under the jurisdiction of the Pope. At the time I was born our priest was a married man, and that was not uncommon in the Ruthenian rite.
So this really is nothing new; it's merely "back to the future".
By the way, Andy Warhol also worshipped in the Ruthenian rite:
