You made a statement in response to a post about married deacons and priests about "watered down liturgy." I assumed it had something to do with that post, but I guess you were just changing the subject.

But this is a discussion of married priests, not deacons.

And I attempted to show that Catholics have been conditioned to accept married clergy, especially those in parishes with married deacons.

Here's just one poll, taken this year, about American and Catholic attitudes toward married priests:

Sixty-nine percent of Americans and 60 percent of U.S. Catholics said the next pope should change church policies to allow priests to marry, while 25 percent of all Americans and 36 percent of Catholics said they preferred no change.

AP-Ipsos poll.

Conditioned. Nice. How Gramscian! Hillary would be proud.

Oh, and don't quote AP polls, especially those which do not distinguish Catholic faithful from nominal Catholics (CINOs). How would Teddy Kennedy and Frances Kissling vote?
