I say it again, let me know if this guy ever, EVER talks about leading people to Jesus. Haven’t seen it yet and doubt I ever will.

Makes me proud every time to be an ex-Catholic Missouri Synod Lutheran.

Are they going to post the results of their synod on the National Cathederal Door? /snicker

Married priests are not a *new* idea.

[sphinx]

Eastern Rite Catholic churches have married priests. So do the Orthodox churches. And all the Protestants. Even the Latin Rite RCC has a few, already married clergy from other denominations who convert and bend the knee to Rome. The discipline of priestly celibacy in the Latin Rite was imposed in the Middle Ages for practical reasons that stood up reasonably well for a long time, but the RCC has room to adjust in this area. It could retain the rule of celibacy for various of the orders while accepting married clergy at the parish level. Or it could elevate deacons, who can marry. Allow deacons to administer the sacraments and the RCC would be halfway home.

Homosexuality, the lavender mafia in the hierarchy, and outright apostasy among the clergy are the killer issues, not priestly celibacy. Married priests won't solve those problems, as the dying liberal protestant churches are demonstrating.

Everyone,
Pray the Holy Rosary so that this Amazon and other synods to not succeed.

Stick with the basic Church, in other words.
