Oh well, that's a bummer. But then my point stands; they can't get married, they can't have sex, thus talking with them about sex makes very little, if any, sense.

Coming soon
Humanum-home
The Complementarity of Man and Woman: An International Colloquium is a gathering of leaders and scholars from many religions across the globe, to examine and propose anew the beauty of the relationship between the man and the woman, in order to support and reinvigorate marriage and family life for the flourishing of human society.
Witnesses will draw from
the wisdom of their religious tradition and cultural experience as they attest to the power and vitality of the complementary union of man and woman. It is hoped that the colloquium be a catalyst for creative language and projects, as well as for global solidarity, in the work
of strengthening the nuptial relationship, both for the good of the spouses themselves and for the good of all who depend upon them.
The Colloquium is sponsored by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and co-sponsored by the Pontifical Council for the Family, the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, and
the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of Christian Unity.

I'm not sure. I don't remember if he said he received an annulment. It makes sense that a decree of nullity would also be needed. I'll ask after this Sunday's Mass. There are many men who become Priests after becoming widowers.

No need to pry. I just know that my dad is still married to my mom in the eyes of the lord, which means my mom is living in sin with her legal husband, God considers my half-brother a bastard, etc.

Pope Francis Demotes Cardinal Raymond Burke
Pope Francis has demoted a conservative American cardinal who has criticized his leadership of the Catholic Church.
The pontiff removed Cardinal Raymond Burke as the leader of the Vatican’s highest court and appointed him to a ceremonial position as chaplain of the Knights of Malta, a charity group, according to a press bulletin issued Saturday.
That is a significant demotion, according to the National Catholic Reporter. “The position of Patron of the the Order of Malta is usually given to a retired cardinal, or as a second task to an active cardinal,” Michael Sean Winters writes. “It has almost no responsibilities.”
The move was not a surprise, as Burke, the Vatican’s highest ranking American, had said last month that he was going to have a new post.
The outspoken, conservative bishop — who pushed for the Vatican to revise and water-down its recent, tentative step toward greater acceptance of LGBT people — has butted heads with the pope since the Argentine was elected last year. Last month, he compared Pope Francis’ leadership to “a ship without a rudder” during an interview with a Spanish magazine.
Aw yeah

Since everyone is saying Pope Francis isn't saying anything different than the previous Popes, does that mean this Burke guy is more hardcore than the Vatican?
Is that what the problem is between the American dioceses and Rome? Rome isn't ****ing hardass enough?

Doesn't that essentially sum up the difference between American Christians and European ones?

I think demoting someone from the top 5 in the RCC to what is essentially the church pooper-scooper means he's quite a hardass.

In terms of (lets call them) traditional values, isn't that already the usual case when you compare Western Europe and the US?

I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....

I think for the non-religious, Catholics get lumped in with all the other sects.
Catholics are their own unique thing.

He was sent to the ecclesiastical equivalent of Siberia, only worse than actual Siberia.

The post is in Rome
His position as patron of the Knights of Malta is Rome-based and mostly ceremonial. He is nevertheless likely to continue and perhaps even step up his defense of the Church’s teaching in the face of continued efforts to radically alter pastoral practice in the run-up to next year’s second synod on the family.
Archbishop Mamberti will be replaced by Archbishop Paul Gallagher, a native of Liverpool, England, who is currently the apostolic nuncio to Australia. Gallagher notably succeeded Archbishop Michael Courtney as apostolic nuncio to Burundi after Courtney was murdered in the country in December 2003.

More from "Bob"
Cardinal Burke
Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke, 66, has been made the patron of the Order of Malta, an honorific charge which is usually assigned to cardinals who are at the end of their ecclesiastical career.
Over the course of the first year-and-a-half of this pontificate, Cardinal Burke has voiced his concern with some of the choices being made in Church governance. Nevertheless, as an active cardinal living in Rome, his capacity to communicate his opinions will remain the same if not greater — since no significant office will be attached to him.
Right after the conclusion of October’s Synod of Bishops, he granted an interview to the Spanish Catholic weekly Vida Nueva, reportedly saying that during the synod “many have expressed their concerns to me. At this very critical moment, there is a strong sense that the Church is like a ship without a rudder.”
Cardinal Burke responded that Vida Nueva, a left-of-center media outlet, had “gravely distorted” his statements.
His appointment to the Order of Malta is not a surprise. The cardinal himself publicly stated he had been informed of it. His appointment to the Order of Malta is the latest in a gradual distancing from the life of the curia.
Pope Francis is looking for a softer approach to applying Church law from the Apostolic Signatura, and he thinks he’s found that in Archbishop Mamberti.
Another round of appointments are expected soon in the Vatican, all intended to reshape the Church’s “top management” to fit with Pope Francis’ vision for a mission to the world with more emphasis on attraction to the Gospel.

I don't believe they're the world's most persecuted "minority". The mid-east being hostile to christians goes without saying.

Umm, no, not really. Most western Christians don't even realize that Orthodox churches in those countries even exist, they just think of everyone over there as "Muslims". When in reality, they're considerably older than the Islamic factions who enjoy killing them off for sport. To the Western world, they might as well be another religion entirely, despite the obvious doctrinal similarities. The really are on islands, on their own, surrounded by enemies.

I would revise that to say, "Christians in the M.E. are the world's most persecuted minority".
