I spoke with him once, during the abortion referendum and he was helpful, humble, wise and very careful.<br />I had my own personal problems with Archbishop Martin, not of my choosing or doing and he appeared overwhelmed by the abuse crisis and his diocese. He was, despite his early promise, an utterly useless leader, a dreadful manager of men and a fearsome burden to his brother Bishops. One can only hope he retires into silence and obscurity and no longer attacks other Bishops or promulgates the doctrines of the Irish Times to Catholics.<br />Archbishop Farrell as a shocking task ahead of him. The diocese is a tragic mess, no vocations, no priests, no congregations and and no allies. <br />Pray for him thickerthantalkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16604534746959098352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508374680487030801.post-80024757247845681732021-01-03T18:28:45.292+00:002021-01-03T18:28:45.292+00:00I clicked on the link to the German Bishop but it ...I clicked on the link to the German Bishop but it only gave me time to read 'I want it to change' and then disappeared presumably behind a paywall. Learning from NE7 that catacumens were once baptised naked, as an adult convert over 50 years ago this is one change I am glad took place!Pelerinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11242844701379703515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508374680487030801.post-38194233312747386812021-01-03T16:39:14.355+00:002021-01-03T16:39:14.355+00:00The whole obsession with women deacons based on th...The whole obsession with women deacons based on the ancient diakonissa is theologically absurd and a gross anachronism. The diakonissa may have been a major order but it more than likely was a minor order comparable to readers, subdeacons, cantors, etc. It was instituted to baptize women because catechumens would be baptized naked when they were received into the church. As such, the diakonissa was established to carry out this function. They had no further liturgical functions. Yet advocates for women deacons want to assert the absurd that women deacons should do everything a male deacon does!!!NE7https://www.blogger.com/profile/12422763035766622170noreply@blogger.com
