Seems its not just the Scottish Episcopal clergy that's a bit restive these days...

Father James Bell is a very generous soul in his 60s. He decided to convert, and under the provisions opened up by Pope John Paul II he felt he needed to offer himself for the Roman Catholic priesthood because their were so few priests in his diocese serving the Highlands and the Orkneys. He is a very dedicated and brave soul. I count ourselves blessed that he was willing to step forward and convert losing his status within the Anglican Communion for an uncertain future in the Roman Catholic Church. He had no guarantee that his application would be accepted but he stepped out of the boat onto the water and looked Jesus full in the face.

Well, the article's most GLARING fault is that "JPII believed that artificial contraception is intrinsically illicit."

So did every OTHER Pope who studied it. It's not JPII--it's irreformable doctrinal teaching.

But given the state of Seminary education, the article and its contents are no surprise.

Mary, Queen of Scots, ora pro eum!!!
