It seems sadly that its some priests and Bishops who call the role, Communion ministers etc. and allow these ministers to purify the sacred vessels So the lay people follow suit God BlessSallyAnnenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641832955811669058.post-45312646517418800852016-06-26T08:56:48.401+01:002016-06-26T08:56:48.401+01:00I have; it reflects what is fund in the Catholic p...I have; it reflects what is fund in the Catholic press nationally. I do wonder how the Bishops can expect us to give them their loyalty when they fail to give that loyalty to Rome. On a related note, they do nothing to prevent Extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion (the only title by which they are to be known according to Rome) being called Eucharistic Ministers; Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist; ministers of Holy Communion etc. This is yet another indicator of the clergy being a law unto themselves. When I was in seminary there was great mocking of priests who expected to be obeyed and believed just because they are priests; it was variously called 'creeping infallibility' and 'clericalism'. It seems to me this has increased tremendously since Vatican II in that priests of both ranks, episcopal and presbyteral, now feel at ease breaking the law and questioning the Catechism and Tradition. If that is not clericalism and creeping infallibility I don't know what is.<br />God Bless.Fr Dicksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702725497183621855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641832955811669058.post-56034565517909317652016-06-25T21:13:16.361+01:002016-06-25T21:13:16.361+01:00Thank you Father, that is what I understood but no...Thank you Father, that is what I understood but not doubt you will have seen (even within the Northern Catholic Calendar) the number of laity named as 'chaplains' to schools, universities etc.David O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04023042558615821880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641832955811669058.post-42926658666634752242016-06-24T13:32:53.186+01:002016-06-24T13:32:53.186+01:00It is sad that is was not in the Diocesan news yet...It is sad that is was not in the Diocesan news yet, but one hopes it will be since there are many who are scarred by abortion.

However, it is forbidden that this title is applied to laity (QUESTIONS REGARDING<br />THE COLLABORATION OF THE NON-ORDAINED<br />FAITHFUL IN THE SACRED MINISTRY OF PRIEST, Vatican, 1997) and is in fact restricted to priests and Bishops. Even deacons may not assume this title since a chaplain is to have the faculty to absolve and anoint (Can. 566 ยง1).Fr Dicksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702725497183621855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641832955811669058.post-52668170084470594612016-06-24T10:03:20.079+01:002016-06-24T10:03:20.079+01:00Do we presume that the 'chaplains' will be...Do we presume that the 'chaplains' will be the laity nominated for this clerical role?
