Very good analysis! I think probably the whole rite (which is optiomal anyway, used to be done only by bishops and then was extended to parishes by VII) will be changed to give it an understanding closer to this. It has nothing to do with ordaining people, but the types who are flipping out would find something else to foam at the mouth about, so maybe it’s not worth the effort to explain it to them. Or not more than a couple of times, at least.

I don’t understand why people get uptight about an innovation, either.

Obviously, with one of the two females being a Muslim girl, there is no way that this could be interpreted as being open to female ordination. I would expect the people on the left to be that stupid, but the people on the right? Puhhleeesse!

It is my understanding that we MUST, every single one of us who believe in the Lord, spread His word. No matter HOW MANY times it takes.

I'm not catholic, but I really like this Pope. My boss and I were just discussing the new Pope. He likes him as well (the boss is Jewish).

There is something, maybe humbling is the word I'm looking for, about him. That's the only word I can think of.
