His idea: use The Episcopal Church (and other Anglican churches, by extension) as a testing ground and first stage of growth for those who wish to become priests AND who wish to be married. Once ordained as an Anglican priest AND married, then that priest can be received into the Roman Church as a married man and continue his vocation there. It's an interesting idea, even though it is DOA, of course, among the Roman hierarchy who seem convinced that they have no problems whatsoever.
