Agreed. Must be the work of the Holy Spirit and also that the rites are so much smaller. Imagine a one of those liturgical professionals coming in wanting to "fix things"?

On a secular note, how are the married families in those rites supported financially? Is it that the donations are accumulated by the diocese of that particular rite and then dispersed accordingly? Do they have a problem staffing the parishes in undesirable locations (dangerous)? Do the funds from the Roman rite partially sustain the other Catholic rites? I ask because I know some priests in the Orthodox Churches have jobs outside of the priesthood in order to sustain their families.

Bwahahahaha!!!! That would be funny. Tar and feathers, anyone?

In some parishes, the Pastor is supported by the parish, and if there's an 'assistant' he may have an 'outside' job, teaching in HS or University or some such.
