Dear Friends:

Considering the current state of affairs, with this whole new wave of priestly scandals, I think that the Holy Father's words were directed to priests maintaining their vows of celibacy after ordination.

Nothing more nothing less.

All this other talk about priestly celibacy does nothing but offend the traditions of the Byzantine Church.

Dr John-

What a great comment! I wholeheartedly agree.
I do believe that we need to just start doing our own thing. What are they going to do? Excommunicate us?

We have a duty to teach TRUE Apostolic Christianity to the USA.

So let's get to work!
