of ordaining these married men and granting them the sole munus, the task, of administering the sacraments, not those of teaching and governing as well, as has instead always happened in every sacred ordination.
Major error in the article As has been taken for granted since about 1900.
Faculties for preaching and confessions have by no means always been automatic, and until one is appointed Pastor, one’s participation in government is squat.
Reviving Mass-only priests (who could be given books with homilies in them that can be read to the faithful—one thing that was done in the old days) is not a bad idea. I know a number of relatively holy men who would make good priests of this sort, but who I think would probably not be up to hearing confessions, would be better off reading homilies, and would of their own volition wish to avoid the pitfalls of governance. They are also celibate. One can revive this practice without throwing celibacy under the bus.
Once upon a time there were Preachers who were not ordained priests, including a couple of women.
If this becomes a reality,do it like what is done by the Eastern Rites,the marries FIRST, before entering the seminary.
