Deacons, if blessed by a priest prior to delivering sermons I believe
Who /looking forward to the occult neo-fascist mystico-traditionalist church that will rise from the ashes of the current gray antipapal husk in an epic anime twist transformation that reveals how all the attacks of gray-ifying zombie bourgeois modernity only hardened the exterior armor of the protagonist's power and this was a necessary process for the emergence of his true potential/ here?
Should I start learning to fight with a sword, or will the weightless laser swords of the neo-crusader army require specialised training anyway?

I live in east bumsfuck in the mountains of northern new england, and we have an extremely well attended pre vatican 2 traditionalist church. Same as where I grew up in Long Island. There are more and more separatist Catholic Churches.

in non-catholic churches yes. Papist's can't into scripture
Around the early 300s A.D. was when they enjoined celibacy upon all priests (Canon 33). The reason for this was because of nepotism. Children of priests were inheriting positions in the church, and they had no qualifications or power, which of course led to a lot of problems. However, that shouldn't be a problem anymore, so it makes sense to consider revoking Canon 33 now.

God is gathering his people. I doubt the institutional Church is going to crack over this though. The cardinals are rumored to be alarmed about Francis and ready to elect a conservative, and His Holiness can't have many more years left in him (man has one lung). Moderate conservative popes will hold the breach for 20-40 years it takes for the current crop of trad seminarians to fix the problem. It's the biological solution.
It'll be just in time for the Church to rise up from the ashes that remain of Western civilization and re-establish its temporal authority.

Hopefully brother, hopefully.

Ehh, all the guys I know in seminary think Francis is really on to something. He might be, after all he's got that radical love that The Jesus was always on about.

Where is his official statement? Knowing CNN I know that they interpret it with certain lens.
