My reading of the post is that AlaninSA is speaking of the article (Can one imagine that!) and is taking to task the laicised priests who are forbidden to function as priests but who continue to do so within a group that also embraces the marriage of homosexuals and female ordination.

I do not think you would lump Eastern Orthodoxy in with that group, nor do I think AlaninSA was addressing the Eastern Orthodox priesthood.

I admit I could be naive, but that would be a great surprise to one and all.

Dear Siobhan,

"My reading of the post is that AlaninSA is speaking of the article (Can one imagine that!) and is taking to task the laicised priests who are forbidden to function as priests but who continue to do so within a group that also embraces the marriage of homosexuals and female ordination."

That was my reading, too.

Sorry. It's just the "schismatic" being associated with "married" clergy that seems to be lumping all into one and the same basket with "other" schismatic and married clergy. Since they are no longer Roman Catholic priests, they cannot be "schismatic." And if they were ex-communicated, as they should have been, then they are not "schismatic" either.
