Goodbye Good Men.

[Edward]

HK and I are thinking about compiling a list of changes and reforms for the parish life and the clergy of the roman rite, a programme that would hopefully bring about a more balanced Church, more vital, manly and in touch with her rich patristic and medieval past but also ready to face the challenges of a dire future in the secularised Western world.

What are some examples?

One of the steps is already quite well known: the restoration of the minor orders. HK did a good job with that one. Other things will follow, some admittedly less important than others: from the chanting of the divine office in all parishes (at least one or two canonical hours) to the edified sporting of beards by the Latin clergy, a practice taken from our Eastern brethren. We'd appreciate your inputs, suggestions and criticisms. This could be a team effort, not a solo run like Eli's last night.

Make them coach the schools football team!!  :grin:
