Deacon: Let me hear more when you start saying Mass and hearing confessions. Not in your lifetime. Not in God's lifetime.

Bad enough that your bishop lets you serve in any capacity. Bad enough that Rome lets Delaney serve in any capacity. Yet you have the nerve to not only attack our best hierarchs like Archbishop Eldon Curtiss of Omaha and Archbishop John Myers of Newark (formerly of Peoria) and to join with some of the worst of anti-Catholic bigots on this site, but you also take cheap shots at JP II at every opportunity. Like Bob Dylan said: It don't take a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing.

Haven't heard your proof yet as to Martino serving as papal nuncio in the United States and there is a reason: He never did.

Did Martino by any chance serve in the United States as papal nuncio to the United Nations?

The diaconate is a major order, Elk.

You can look it up.

Minor orders are Porter, Lector, Exorcist and Acolyte.

They're not cheap. They're right on target, when he's wrong on things like the Iraqi war and capital punishment.
