Even though I am Jobim, the real One Note Samba is Sinkspur, who can disregard Mother's explanation of celibacy and continue to harp on what the Church needs to do for its own good.

And you are rude for not pinging me when mentioning men in a post.

I respect Mother Teresa's view of celibacy. All of her points are well taken.

Mother Teresa also spoke out against communion in the hand.

Catholics are free to disagree even with saints. They are not infallible in their judgments.

Fair enough - use names, let them know.

Your comments in no way referred to Mother's. And it is no secret that you keep harping on this point. Were it two score years ago, would you be constantly lobbying all and sundry of the equal virtues of ingesting animal protein on Fridays?

Communion in the hand: mimimalism is never equal to greater piety. There is a hierarchy of worthiness. We are called to greater piety, not to minimalism.
