Thank you for your kind comment, and...Fr Benedict,<br /><br />Thank you for your kind comment, and for the link which I shall peruse when I am spared a few moments. Unfortunately I have been working 12 hour shifts at work (to the detriment of my health, and getting no thanks for it) and have felt very tired and cranky this week.<br /><br />Naturally a return to a more holistic Tradition is what the Roman Church needs rather than pseudo-magisterial/Papal authority over Tradition. The episcopal crisis in this country is one aspect of this. I have in mind a few priests who would be better bishops than the current lot anyway...Patrick Sheridanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995907911415177074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192580971664762668.post-57825206570110386572010-10-21T18:03:30.439+01:002010-10-21T18:03:30.439+01:00to paraphase Godfather III (a pretty good film jus...to paraphase Godfather III (a pretty good film just misunderstood) 'when you build on the people, you build on mud.'Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441618666419874438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192580971664762668.post-17019371748360949642010-10-21T03:08:32.664+01:002010-10-21T03:08:32.664+01:00Oh yes, because the "faithful" these day...Oh yes, because the "faithful" these days would know what sort of guy the bishop should be. <br /><br />Women singing in choirs and Anglican orders are completely different things, btw.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03286578491636129500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192580971664762668.post-41542124345899391832010-10-21T01:36:42.575+01:002010-10-21T01:36:42.575+01:00Patricius,
Thank you for another enjoyable post....Patricius, <br /><br />Thank you for another enjoyable post. Even when I find your ideas profoundly impractical, at least they are honest and thoughtful. <br /><br />Your comments in the last paragraph of this post (about the election of bishops) reminded me of a recent reflection by Fr. Thomas Hopko, an Orthodox priest here in America, on the nature of the episcopacy (papal, collegial, or otherwise), and if you have five minutes you might enjoy reading it. It can be found here: http://www.ocanews.org/news/Hopko.Catholicbishops10.14.10.html <br /><br />Briefly, Fr. Thomas believes that the recent move by the Patriarch of Constantinople to form local "Episcopal Assemblies" (something akin in some respects to a national council of bishops) is a move towards a more papal view of episcopacy by the Ecumenical Patriarchate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
