One of the difficulties for us ordinary folks who try to appreciate the St Mary's situation is the theology of priesthood.
Experts, can you help us, please:
What is the relationship, if any, between valid ordination and call/acceptance by the community?
I think it was St Cyprian who said that no community should have a bishop whom they do not want. Is there any support theologically for this view? (Who was that who just caught a plane?)
If I can't understand what a soul is, let alone believe in one, I have a problem with the sacramental character being planted on it: What is the theological teaching re the sacrament of ordination for non-Greeks?
Peter
