Look at some of the archives at Brussels Journal -- ayear or two back.<br /><br />Real men are under fire everywhere, not just the pristhood. But this juvenile rebellion won't go anywhere. <br /><br />BTW, maybe i missed it but do you have some context for what these Austrians are doing?? I know about the Polish church above Vienna, but am not familiar with Austrian Catholicism or its pastoral needs.<br /><br />...every time I consider rejoining, the Vatican does something utterly insane, like calling for a one-world government. The church has been loony about political and economic wisdom since, oh, at least Leo XIII. Actually it goes back much further. I wish they'd stay out of it and be the city on a hill. What they say they want now amounts to Communism by another name...<br /><br />We need married priests. The time for celibacy has paased. The need for it may come again, but a call to the priesthood should be separated from the charism of celibacy. If they can let in all the Anglican married priests, as they did not too long ago - Anglicans running from a hollowed-out church -- then the time has come for other married men to be accepted into the seminaries. Boy, that would change things.Dymphnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11332644582520636279noreply@blogger.com
