Archbishop of the Loonie Moonies...
Blogroll Me!
So, Zambian Archbishop Emmanuel Milingo decided to run away from home and show up in the United States to champion the idea of married priests.
Now, to be wholly honest, I am not completely against the idea of married priests. It has its ups and downs, but I fully trust in the wisdom of the Holy See to decide whether or not this discipline is wise to continue.
However, this guy is just a lunatic.
He married a Korean woman in a mass ceremony by Sun Myung Moon, but was later persuaded by the Vatican (actually, by Cardinal Betrone, the number two man at the CDF at that time and now the newly named Secretary of State) to renounce his marriage and return to full communion, thus having the Holy See drop the excommunication threat.
He's back with his wife now. So I guess that didn't hold.
Really, I don't mind people talking about the pros and cons of mandatory celibacy, but couldn't the pros find a spokesman that has a few less screws loose?
