Chrystus zmartwychwstał! What's shocking in this all?
Nothing. Normal Catholics would be confounded and angry if the Church allowed married priests. This is our Holy Tradition.
My mother and grandmother were astounded when they read in Catholic newspapers that the Vatican would allow married priests for the Anglicans. In the eyes of Catholics, even this exception from the law is too far reaching.
Just showing how parochial and heretical the Vatican is, that its followers, confroted by Apostolic practice, would be astounded. |

Christ is risen! Christ is risen! I agree. Which is why they should become Western Rite Orthodox. The Orthodox don't get confused by institutions instituted by God, like marriage.
Interesting ... so if an Anglican minister approached the Orthodox Church and said "I believe in the Immaculate Conception, the filioque, Papal Primacy and Papal Infallibility, but I want to become Orthodox because you guys allow married clergy" ... that would be fine? Usually Anglicans do not hold these beliefs that is why there are many Anglicans surprised that there are those that would join the Latin Church. True. However, I think you missed my point. no, he hit it head on. My point was that, if an Anglican priest wants to become Eastern Orthodox, he (or she) has to accept Orthodox doctrine. Right? Indeed! But, rather disingenuously, it is said that mandated celibacy is a discipline not a doctrine, and its seems, from what some say, that they expected that married clergy would be a permanent part of the Anglican use, as, supposedly, it is among the Vatican's Eastern rites. I don't know what you mean by the Vatican's eastern rites. Last time I checked the Vatican was western-rite.  Why would I start on a "Byzantine" forum to find out what Western Anglicans are thining? |

Christos Voskrese! Christ is risen! Welcome to the real world. This must be said, for a number of reasons, but the reality will be that the Anglicans will petition to ordain married men on a case by case basis...just as in the eastern Churches.
What are you talking about. Petition to whom? To Pope? Every time an Eastern Catholic seminary student wants to marry? You have no idea what it took for Pope Benedict to be able to offer that prelature so that the Anglican rite would become one of the several western rites in the Roman Church without having it be absorbed into the Roman rite. No idea at all of the great achievement in diplomacy that was on the part of our current Pope. Nor do you have any idea what it cost him. So much fior the much vaunted claims of Pastor Aeternus. They are about as efficacious as those vaulted claims for consiliarism, sobornost and synergy that really only pertain in the third heaven or higher....  Well good, then you won't feel obligated to foist your useless supreme pontiff on us, as we all know that consilarity has worked at least 7 times, and we know that ex cathedra Vaticana have never worked once. |

I don't see what is so distressing about married priest. There were many married priest in the west before the 11 century. Maybe a married clergy is shocking to you in Poland, but here in the USA, most RC's are for it. |

I thing I would like to know is, despite all these attempts by both Orthodoxy and the RCC to attract Anglicans by special provisions and liturgies, how many Anglicans actually end up leaving their own Communion and going over to the RC/OC's?
I somehow feel that the real numbers of those who leave the Anglican Communion are not as significant as we would like to believe. Anglicans, in the west anyway are only a small fraction of Christians when compared to the RCC, OC, and larger evangelical groups. Most are probably more liberal anyway and see no problem with the direction their respective Communion is heading in (Except for Africa). So is all this fuss in trying to appease some Conservative Anglican groups really worth the big deal that some make it out to be?

In the eyes of Catholics, even this exception from the law is too far reaching. All it means is that those Catholics you are referring to have insufficient knowledge of the subject. |

Heretical, I'm sorry but what has the Patriarch of Constantinople called the Romanians and Russians? Good thing you weren't around during the era of the Borgia popes! Cesare Borgia did in more than a few of his dad's, the pope's, enemies, while he was a 'cardinal.' Seriously, if I recall you once said that one of your grandfathers was Galician. Was he not then a Greek Catholic with a history of a married clergy? Were they 'playing' Eucharist? There are many Eastern Catholics online who regard themselves as faithful, 'normal Catholics' with their history of married clergy. Archbishop Ireland didn't regard Father Toth and his congregation as 'normal Catholics' either and you know where that ended up. I think you owe your Eastern Catholic co-religionists, as well as the Orthodox, an apology for the 'playing Eucharist' crack. By the way, the local Byzantine Catholic parish down the street is receiving a married priest with a family next month as their pastor. Talk about irony. |

Then again maybe many of the clergy prefer their flocks to be uneducated, it makes it easier to control and/or ignore them depending on the person's inclination. |

The problem with the "typical Catholic" is that the typical Catholic is often a cradle Catholic, and many times (but not always) they tend to be very lukewarm when it comes to the faith. I do know some lifelong Catholics who are rather zealous about their faith (especially the little old ladies that never miss Mass and go to confession every week), but for the most part it seems that the adult converts are the most passionate about Catholicism. |

Oh, I see. So "the Vatican's eastern rites" means the Congregation for the Oriental Churches? Always nice to learn something new. The Congregation for the Oriental Churches is made up of Latin bishops, and the Code of Canon Law for the Eastern Churches is in Latin. Partial truth is good...I guess. It doesn't matter with Izzy. If we Catholics don't use the restroom exactly the way Izzy thinks we should, he starts crying, "heresy! heresy!" Once a Lutheran, always a Lutheran I suppose. I suppose that, Papist, those grasping after straws, will eventually turn to chaff, as here. Tell us, papist, pray tell, of this alleged Lutheran heresy you claim. I don't care whatever you are doing with yourself in the bathroom. Speaking of Luther though, and bathrooms, the Borgias had a demonstration of a lovely tradition of the time before the pope was installed: The Roman Church, according to legend, stipulated that anyone elected Pope should prove that his genitalia were intact. To this end a special chair was fashioned that had a horseshoe-shaped seat. The Pope to be would sit on the seat and the cardinals would pass by, checking the papal procession and proclaiming: ‘testiculos habet et bene pendentes’. A loose translation being: ‘testicles he has and well-hung ones’.
It is unclear when the custom first begun. The reason for its initiation is that according to the Law of Moses eunuchs could not enter into the sanctuary. Leviticus considered castrated animals and humans as unworthy of the sacrifice, both in a literal and a religious sense.
http://www.newint.org/features/1993/06/05/curious/The chair is called "sedia stercoraria," "the dung chair" Interesting, the chair of St. Peter? here they hebemus papam by the ...... A shame Vatican II did away with all these quaint customs of a papal coronation. See what I mean? He is more concerned with "dung chairs" than Christian truth. LOL. I don't look for the Christian truth from ecclesiastical communities concerned with "dung chairs" and unused testicles. |

You're the ones feeling up your primates, not I. In fact, we have had primates who would have failed such a test, like EP St. Ignatius (the one whom Pope St. Nicholas used to create a schism to assert Ultramontanist claims). We have neither the Judaizing tendencies nor obsession for a constructed "natural law" to check these things out on celibates. (Of course, having a beard usiual makes it unnecessary to look and check out other parts other than the face). I do have to agree with the cardinal's lines in "the Borgias" on your supreme pontiff Alexander VI "you would think that his children would be proof enough, or maybe his mistress can testify as to his virility" or something like that (they were mumbling: when your vicar of Christ passed the test, the cardinal did say distinctly "two hard ones. Deo Gratia"). |

I am sorry but my mother and grandmothers are not intelligent internet blogger Catholics, who were given by God the right to anathemise and insult bishops. They cannot read Latin nor speak any other languages, they are not college graduates but they feed me and have passed the faith onto me. I do not view them as ignorant. They taught me how to pray the Holy Rosary; how to make the sign of the cross; they forced me to go to church when I did not want to; force me to work when I want to sit idle. I thought that someone was going to say this. I laughed at that idea, when I heard them singing the litany to Our Lady, downstairs, yes out of tune, in old women chant but every prayer is beautiful. How often do you people sing at home to the Virgin Mary? I don't remember a day when I do not hear my grandmother singing hymns or praying the Rosary at home. I don't feel any regrets that I listen to my elders. As an aside: Galicyja was a grand country, a country that will never return. All we can have is sweet memories and the weird Austro-Hungarian dialect of Polish. My family was from Western Galicyja not Eastern. There was never Rusin settlement in Mielec.  Galicja in 1910 was 58% Polish and 40% Ukrainian |

Beautiful post. Both of my grandmothers are silent now and my mother will join them sooner rather than later, and I expect I'll not be far behind  ...So it is good to know that the younger ones will remember and important to give them beautiful memories to keep safe and sound. Christ is Risen! M. I am sorry but my mother and grandmothers are not intelligent internet blogger Catholics, who were given by God the right to anathemise and insult bishops.

I don't want to lump them together by any means. I'm just saying that we shouldn't be overly optimistic about the typical Catholic.
The problem with the "typical Catholic" is that the typical Catholic is often a cradle Catholic, and many times (but not always) they tend to be very lukewarm when it comes to the faith. I do know some lifelong Catholics who are rather zealous about their faith (especially the little old ladies that never miss Mass and go to confession every week), but for the most part it seems that the adult converts are the most passionate about Catholicism. This sounds like typical convert rhetoric which seeks to bash anyone whose a cradle as "lukewarm" and "irreligious". Lets not forget that, if it wasn't for the "cradles" coming over to this country and working hard to establish the faith then their wouldn't be a Church here for the converts to join in the first place. God bless the cradles!!! |
