That's why the Holy Spirit created an Apostolic succession and why Christ left authority over his Church to the successors of Peter. To give us a way of discerning the difference between godly movements and frauds.

Well, obviously married priests are of God, or the Church couldn't ordain them. The question then becomes, how many married men does the Church choose to ordain?

The question has already been answered: as many as the Holy See sees fit to ordain.

The discipline is reserved to the Holy See, not to a gaggle of self-described "liberal, progressive" clergymen from a diocese where even the Church's perennial teaching on sodomy cannot be forcibly preached from the pulpit.

If the Holy See needs their opinion, the Holy See will solicit it.

I find it hard to believe that every single parishioner in Milwaukee is fully and accurately catechized and in the habit of weekly assistance at Mass and monthly reception of absolution. Until the clergy of Milwaukee finish doing their job properly, they should hold off arrogating a higher role for themselves.

None, nada, zero!!!!!!!

The married priests coming over from the Anglican, Lutheran, Methodist, and Presbyterian churches are too many as it is. Their existence confuses the laity. The Holy Father must have had a bad day when he decided to allow it.
