These are Vatican bureaucrats attempting to pull back on practices of 10, 15, and 25 years

Yeah--10, 15, 25 years--practically the same as "immemorial tradition," right?

The Vatican has the authority and the Bishops, priests, and deacons have the liberty to disobey. Many will.

Most will, if the reaction gauged this week is any indication, and if the Vatican issues a "do it because I say so" directive.

Cooler heads will prevail.
