It appears to me that the Episcopal Priests have fallen into a trap, no way out, and will remain faithful to their people.....No, I don't have a solution....

I am not sure what you mean by encouragement.
The Catholic Church accepts Episcopal priests into their ranks, even married ones.
In the last twenty-five years at least seventy-seven married men have been ordained as Catholic priests in the United States.
All were ordained ministers in other Christian denominations.
Sixty-six of these married priests are former Episcopalians, seven are former Lutherans, three are former Methodists, and one is a former Presbyterian.
Here are a couple of interesting articles: http://www.corpus.org/Page.cfm?Web_ID=577

And 400,000 traditional Anglicans worldwide from 13 countries have requested that the Catholic Church receive them into full communion including all of their bishops, priests and deacons. http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/0706103.htm
With love in Christ.
