"A spokesman for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles said the instructions would have little, if any, effect on how seminaries in the Los Angeles area admit candidates."

And there's the rub! Major question is how will this instruction be enforced and who will do the enforcing? Will Pope Benedict XVI take on this challenge and call the reprobate (Jadot) bishops to task, read them the riot act and exercise his right to strip them of their office.

NOTHING will change in LA until the administration there changes, because of the hubris in their hearts that they are above the law of God (or perhaps that what they say IS the law of God, along the lines of some in the ECUSA and other groups).

Of course, the administration may shift before they think it ought to.

"who will do the enforcing? Will Pope Benedict XVI take on this challenge and call the reprobate (Jadot) bishops to task, read them the riot act and exercise his right to strip them of their office."

I think Pope Benedict XVI avoid a serious confrontation with the disobedient Bishops at first. He will be patient for awhile; but if they remain obstinate he is the type of man who has the will and the courage to enforce his letter with serious sanctions. I am completely certain that he knew his letter would create a firestorm of controvery with the liberals in and out of the Church, and that there would be a battle. God bless the Holy Father for his courage and conviction.
