Bump!
That is the BIG Question!! WHO? The USCCB has ignored many directives from the Vatican in the past. They will ignore this one also as I believe it will be self incriminating for many of them.
The WHO is the Laiety, the People of the Catholic Religion themselves. If Rome and especially those around the Pope are serious about enforcing the directives, then the Laiety will have somewhere to go. Otherwise the Church will remain in the state of destruction that is has become since Vatican II
NOT!
imprudent and "very risky."? How about a direct violation to God's holy and sacred word, the Bible?
In Pauls letter to Timothy are the job qualifications to be a minister of God, amongst them: "A man married to one wife."
There is not one verse in the entire bible althorizing the ordanation of homosexuals or women.
What is wrong with religion these days that they claim to be Christians, yet refuse to honor and follow His word? And it is not just Roman Cahtolics, it is any number of Protestant denominations as well
Elton John, SJ.
The American Church, in particular a few diocese turned their backs on the church doctrine on ordaned homosexuals, and now those diocese are full of homosexuals so much so that they now control those diocese. Trading sex for favors and actively recruiting more homosexuals into them.
To this day, I still doubt highly that most lay folk of the church understand how rampant homosexuality has become in certain dioceses of the Catholic Church in america.
It needs to be stopped, and the only way it will be is if the Vatican itself kills it by purging the church of it.
Shouldn't be made bishop either.
News from the Vatican on Homosexuality, " Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah Blah, etc., etc., etc.
