It is like beating your head up a brick wall isn't it? I mean, there is a response from someone supporting women's ordination and a response from an ex priest who married - but it still falls on deaf ears.

There is also a response from someone who finds that the heavy accents of the fellas from overseas becomes too difficult for the generally older congregation to understand.

But I guess it doesn't matter - because as long as 'he' can say Mass that is all that matters.

And I suspect these fellas from overseas are ones who support the Magesterium and would never speak out of turn on issues relating to contraception and divorce.

In other words, they are a safe bet from the dissidents that are now rearing their ugly heads!!!
