I re-read the article again and I get out of it… Basically “because you’re in America where latins are the vast majority and all(relatively speaking) Latins are celibate then you need to be celibate too”. Does this go the other way too that any Latins in a predominantly Eastern country should have the flexibility to be married? (The answer is NO they currently do not have that option.)
I’ve tried to see the RC-side of things and I just can’t seem to understand the rationale. The ECC are <1% of the total Catholic population. Most Catholics don’t even know they exist. Perhaps this Rome’s way of driving EC’s back to Orthodox Churches?

If you believe in this sort of thing: it is rumored that more and more Italians are being are being elevated to Cardinal to ensure that the next Pope will be Italian… And we know how Italy feels about EC’s already…

That’s largely the making of the ECC’s.

Seems quite different to me. In some cases former male Anglican ministers can become Catholic priests of the Latin Rite within the Anglican Ordinariate. There is a finite time for that. When new priests are formed within the Catholic Church they’ll have to abide by the law of the land in the Latin Rite.

You [conveniently] skipped over the entire point …
 
I was discussing this with someone just about now. If you look at the groups in the Catholic Church who is desiring to return to tradition, the SSPX, the Sedevacantist, the Eastern Catholic Church, all these groups either have schismatic tendencies or outright in schism. The conclusion of that discussion that I had is that it seems the only way to return to tradition these days is go into schism from the Pope. That is not a good sign for the Pope, or the Catholic Church.
 
I was trying to find the thread about Fr. Tom Loya’s Letter to Metropolitan William. Was it moved?

Thanks for posting this! As with the two previous interviews from the ad Limina, with Chaldean Bishop William Sarhad, and with Maronite Bishop Gregory, the interviews here on Vaticano with Byzantine Catholic Met. Skurla and with Armenian Catholic Bishop Mikael Antoine Mouradian express only enthusiasm for their ad Limina visit, grateful for their time together and for the support they express they received from His Holiness.
