text: God bless the NCR, those I have criticized for one reason or another, and all. 
      I am going to say something here that is likely going to get me excommunicated.
      Yes, one should treat clergy with respect, as you would all persons regardless of their stature. One should respect the Catholic order of worship out of respect for Catholics. 
      But when this kind of legalism presents itself it behooves me to speak what I know to be the truth: the hierarchy as it presently exists is arbitrary. ANY Christian with the indwelling Holy Spirit may serve as a priest in any congregation, spiritually discerned. One is aware that Canon Law says otherwise. 
       The Real Presence is a spiritual one, discerned by the pure in heart. There is no need for a formal sacramental priesthood save that there are those who believe it is important, and for these the church exists. God bless them everyone. There is still no monopoly on God. 
       How about organic wine and matzoh crackers? Fooey.
