I cheer the expansion and blossoming of the Eastern Churches with all their gifts; I also cheer the expansion of the permanent diaconate in the West; there are about 16,000 Catholic permanent deacons in the USA and most of these are married men (deacons are, of course, clergy.)
Not to go to another subject but the Orthodox Church has re-introduced female deaconesses again - under very strict conditions per what is allowed by the rulings of the Ecumenical Council - again I forget which one authorized female deacons. Maybe Kolokotronis can fill us in on both details.
