But then, we have the matter of liturgical practices that are not expressly prohibited being promoted as acceptable when in fact, it is the opposite. Only the actions proscribed are to be done, nothing added or taken away. Not sure where that leaves us with the matter of eligibility for papal ballot inclusion.VAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17858459623425420283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774681833222176907.post-11599167931669949982013-02-26T08:31:41.553-06:002013-02-26T08:31:41.553-06:00Okay.

That is what I thought, but it still doesn't exactly answer the question of my student's father, because it doesn't say whether it will ordain a married man who has never been a minister in this circumstance. Maybe they would. I don't know. That's why I mentioned Fr. Knick in my Facebook message, because he's married and already ordained.<br /><br />AMDGJanet Cupohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01037555111680888247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774681833222176907.post-89262856924294458982013-02-25T22:58:27.293-06:002013-02-25T22:58:27.293-06:00The answer is that canon law states that the pope ...The answer is that canon law states that the pope must be a baptized male and that he must become a bishop before taking office. That's it. Not that he has to be a priest or a bishop before being elected, just before taking the papal office. Since the 15th century, he's always been from the college of Cardinals. That said, we just had a pope resign which hasn't happened in 600 years. So I say it's anyone's ballgame.VAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17858459623425420283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774681833222176907.post-63221830832061437712013-02-24T19:54:19.861-06:002013-02-24T19:54:19.861-06:00You know, I haven't actually tried looking thr...You know, I haven't actually tried looking through the cruets myself, but I'm going to have to do that.<br /><br />AMDGJanet Cupohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01037555111680888247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774681833222176907.post-1288492392381735052013-02-24T19:53:28.141-06:002013-02-24T19:53:28.141-06:00Actually, that is what I told the student, but the...Actually, that is what I told the student, but then after Mass his grandfather said I was wrong. That's what I get for being swayed by popular opinion.
