text: You are really mixing a  number of issues together into quite a murky soup here, gewaite.  The Latin rite (Roman Catholic) is a far larger and a separate church than the Maronite or Byzantine rites, and has been totally resistant (for very poor and questionable reasons) to following its Eastern brothers (I'll leave it at the all-male doorstep for now), so to raise it in relation to this report isn't very useful.  In addition, the Orthodox are in need of a good deal of renewal as well, otherwise they will face a decline unknown to date.  What we Romans need to do is to have a very careful theological discussion about the totality of priesthood, and not equally influenced by culture or tradition.
