In any rescript of dispensation from priestly celibacy and all obligations deriving from Sacred Ordination the following provisio is always included: The petitioner may not discharge any directive office in the pastoral field or act as parish administrator. I was simply asking how someone who has been giving such a dispensation managed to obtain a position directing pastoral affairs for the Archdiocese of Westminster given such a clear instruction from the Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments. Don't forget that the rescript is issued in the name of the Holy Father, and that these are his instructions.Janet Reevesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-92147118218383545052010-09-05T10:50:30.533+01:002010-09-05T10:50:30.533+01:00@Janet Reeves: Given Terry Two's comment, your...@Janet Reeves: Given Terry Two's comment, your question was evidently not an innocent one.<br /><br />I wonder in passing whether you're anything to do with that Reeves who's a member of a notorious pretend Catholic group. If you are that would explain the nature ofyour intervention.<br /><br />This is Father Ray Blake's (excellent) blog so I can't be as blunt as I would be on my own one but let me put it this way. <br /><br />1. Your comment was a transparent attempt to get at Edmund Adamus. Well that aint gonna fly, not with me around, it won't.<br /><br />2. Edmund Adamus did nothing more than articulate basic Christian principles. If you don't like them your problem is with Christ, not with Adamus.Red Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00858695355021361726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-42521438135693485382010-09-04T09:18:58.801+01:002010-09-04T09:18:58.801+01:00Janet, you make a good point.

This is reminiscent of the case over here where a parish priest also spoke out forthrightly on homosexuality, only to have his bishop cut the ground out from under him by ‘distancing’ himself from it.<br /><br />It is not a good sign for the Church when some in the hierarchy appear to take their positions from the media instead of from the Gospel.GORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14313101159848740722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-11875645164719991102010-09-03T10:15:28.838+01:002010-09-03T10:15:28.838+01:00Things must be bad because Edmund is a model of di...Things must be bad because Edmund is a model of diplomacy & restraint ordinarily.
