Don’t get me wrong...it is not a doctrinal change, as the Churches of the East have done this forever as did the Latin Church for 1,000 years. It is a discipline change. And if he wants input and agreement from the various bishops’ conferences (who would be stuck with administering this and providing for the families of the married priests), then all well and good.

But sourcing ANYTHING from the Bitter Pill? ANYTHING? That is like asking MSNBC for neutral news about The Won.

Yeah, right! Just like Holy Communion in the hand and on the hoof, altar girls, dispensation from Holy Days of Obligation, fasting and abstinence, Ember Days; all at the bequest of bishops, is now "well and good".
