Roman rite pulpits never mention the Catholic Churches of the East. The THEOTOKOS is foreign to them- never explained. Maybe the term is Orthodox (a NO NO. Orthodox is non- Catholic and a NO NO. How will the Latin rite prepare its faithful for Church Unity with the Orthodox? Lord, Have Mercy Upon Us.

Keep up the good work. When I re...Preotessa Anne,<br /><br />Keep up the good work. When I read this to my wife, she gave an audible cheer. Sr Joan clearly has an agenda, and disregards our Eastern Christian experience, and the voice of women who do uphold Catholic morality. Your perspective as a Presbytera (a "priestess" literally) is important. Too often the voice of Catholic women who understand and live the Faith are shouted down because they do not fit the modernist mold or spew the correct slogans. People are leaving the Church because it's irrelevant, not because it's not modern enough, but because it's become too watered down and meaningless. Sister Joan does not get that. She does not see where there are abundances of vocations, or where the parishes are full of young people. She ignores them because they try to be traditional, focused on Jesus Christ. She clearly is not. She does not see how the priesthood is about self sacrifice and "being clothed in Christ," but as a place of power and control. Her apparent contempt of power and control belies what is truly desired. <br /><br />Again, keep up the fight!<br /><br />In Christ,<br />Adam KemnerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-81002564541454047132015-11-07T06:20:45.089-06:002015-11-07T06:20:45.089-06:00So, this popped up in my facebook feed as the clos...So, this popped up in my facebook feed as the closest Byzantine rite parish (over 2 hours from me) shared it. And I love it. Whenever people discuss married clergy, I think of your family and the family of an Episcopalian priest I knew growing up who converted and was given permission by the Vatican to be ordained and served our parish for years. I don't know if I will ever seen married priests but it is simply ridiculous what the Reporter is putting out there. Thank you for being a voice in the wilderness!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
