Coadjutor Bishop Arnold Orowae of Wabag, Papua New Guinea, told synod participants that Catholics who live in remote villages did not have "the opportunity for frequent celebration and reception of the Eucharist."

This is unfortunately true, but the solution is not to increase the frequency by rendering the entire Sacrement meaningless by destroying the priesthood.

Mercifully .... these are only discussions but they give great insight into the views of prelates from other parts of the world. Some of them are quite frightening - especially those of Bishop Wabag.

The first popes were maried, the apostles were married.

Are you suggesting that until an unmarried pope celebrated the Eucharist that the sacrement was meaningless?

Destroying the priesthood. LOL! You need a serious lesson in church history.
