Doc, If only some dissenting Catholics were as sharp a prognosticator as you. So many of them have nurtured the delusional hope that a "liberal" would be elected who would undo 2,000 years of doctrine. As if truth and doctrine is something that is voted on every so many years and holds a limited term of office. "Let's all believe in the Trinity until the next election." The news media and even some Catholic do not seem to understand the differnce between dicipline and doctrine. Celebacy in the priesthood is a Church discipline which can be changed. In fact in some of the Eastern Rites of the Catholic Church there are married priests, unlike in the predominant Latin Rite. Men as priests, on the other hand, is a doctrine, which can not and will not change. I am told one of those who hoped for a dramatic change had a vison in which afew questions were allowed. The first question was: "Will there ever be married priests?" God's answer: "Not in your lifetime. The second question: "Will there ever be women priests?" God's answer: " Not in my lifetime." No if those Cardinals could just learn how to do smoke signals correctly. Emmaus |

Emmaus : I like your anecdote about married priests and women priests. For some reason it evokes in my mind the story of a little old lady who attended a science lecture one clear summer evening in Central Park. The scientist, an astronomer, pointing to the stars in the clear night sky, said, "Observe all those stars in the heavens above. They are suns, and in a few billion years hence, all suns including the earth's sun, will burn out and plunge the galaxy into utter darkness." .... The little old lady, who was a bit deaf, tentatively raised her hand to ask the question, "Sir, did you say millions or billions of years?" ...... "Billions" replied the scientist. ..... "Oh, thank heavens," she responded. "What a relief. I'm not so worried now. For a moment there I thought you said millions." --Hank | ||||||
