Either the proest takes care of his flock or he takes care of his family.

Moreover, concupiscence of the flesh is faced with prayer and meditation.

A lot of them only have Divine Liturgy on Sundays.

My understanding is that those also tend to have saturday Vespers as well.

A typical EC parish doesn’t have daily Divine Liturgy, either.

Mine, for example, has Wednesday evening; the one across town has W F during the day, as I recall.

I hope it works out for these Australians. It seems completely reasonable to use married priests in the middle of Australia. It is likely similar to Brazil where there are not enough priests. I’ll pray for them and their efforts. What a challenge to figure this all out for the church leaders and Pope Francis…

They’ll have many things to figure out…not the least of which is how to they support themselves financially in the middle of Australia.

Also, even if they try to use part time priests who have a day job in the rural areas…similar to the “viri probati” idea in Brazil, they will have problems. For example, you’ll have many requests from formerly celibate priests who will want to serve in the middle of Australia if they could marry. They’ll have to think about how to handle that. If they bring in formerly celibate priests, why bother training part-time priests.

It’s fine if you love this idea of plenary councils but don’t carry on like we’re all supposed to embrace the notion for our countries. I’d prefer it if the Church in USA would quit taking (name removed by moderator)ut from Sally Soccer Mom and just get back to prayer, spirituality, stability. I’m out.

I prefer the Church, the universal church, listen to and be guided by the Holy Spirit, wherever this voice comes from. I think of some of our greatest Saints. Some were heard, some not, during their lives.
After all no (name removed by moderator)ut from laity is what turned the scandal that occurred in many countries, including both of ours, into a raging bushfire.

It’s a tool used to exclude and incite, until only one poor old victim is left, usually innocent, who the feels the brunt of the angry mob.

Who loves using this tool? The one looking to divide and conquer. But alas for him, he has to stop the chaos and division at the point of total fracture. He then gathers an angry violent mob and throws them a victim. They then quiet down , Start peacefully existing , and he gets on with his job of corruption of humanity.

I appreciate that you respond once or twice , then say bye, I am out!
Pity the old ignore button is gone eh. Perhaps just scroll on by.

Rejection of the charism of celibacy is an odd way of denying the self and serving the Lord. Since 81% of sexual abuse is homosexual, what sort of marriage would those be?

Sad as the situation is, the current exceptions only prove the rule. Celibacy is both biblical and traditional. In the words of Bo Diddley, “Who do you love?”
 
Celibacy and virginity, when lived in a spirit charity, of submission to the will of God, is eminently fruitful.

The natural fruits of marriage are offspring. The supernatural fruits are sanctification, the glorification of God by our witness and suffering.

The Word Made Flesh is the fruit of the virginity of Mary.

Instead of attacking celibacy, our bishops ought to be helping us to attain to its fruits, and those of the lesser good of Holy Matrimony.
