BTW, nor was Jesus, if you believe there was such a thing as an historical Jesus.

I believe this is what McGrath was talking about. There was a teeny tiny TEMPORARY ONE TIME ONLY dispensation made for married Anglican priests becoming Catholic priests, in order to allow for the conversion of entire congregations.

The Holy See has NOT approved married priest in general, and even the Anglicans turned Catholic priests, must adhere to the vow on celibacy if widowed.
