My post did not mention O'Malley, btw. But Kerry and Kennedy are not Catholics having committed themselves to the organized slaughter of the unborn. Public support of the unholy is grave and merits penalties. We don't need wusses occupying chairs of the Roman episcopate.
I'll take your recommendation for holy orders fraternally "in the Spirit of Vatican II" as an innovative but imprudent suggestion. Let's remember to add more authentically Catholic education for deacons.
