Not outer space. But Loftus thinks they are deformed by leaning theology and how to say Mass properly.

Ideally, a man will present himself to the bishop of the diocese where he has grown up so that he can serve the faithful of the same diocese as their priest. He wouldn't be 'parachuted in from outside'; he would be serving his own people.Dominichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02823985751616686556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30490922.post-31978572615609500612013-11-01T13:09:17.614+00:002013-11-01T13:09:17.614+00:00Part time parenting?

It tends to encourage the view that theology is pretty much reducible to how you feel (because that's really all you've got to go on in the absence of proper theological formation). If it's coupled with clerical status going to the head (a not uncommon result) you get Henry VIII liberalism: anything goes so long as it's what I think.<br /><br />I'm not surprised Msgr Loftus is in favour.Lazarushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09716412032074416331noreply@blogger.com
