You want 'em? We could probably arrange a trade...
I think the lay member of the review board that I quoted from the source the NYTimes used made a plausible point. Keeping them "in house" lets the Church authorities keep tabs on them and some measure of control over their actions. Now, if these... persons are wearing clerical garb and/or using clerical titles or listed as priests "in residence" at parishes that's a HUGE problem. If they're doing any priestly functions routinely then that's stupid. Surely we've got plenty of empty monasteries around the world where we could pack 'em off to.
