text: If we have intercommunion with Protestants, should we be concerned that they don't have nor claim to have or believe in Apostolic Succession?  Do we still believe in that?  If not, than why should a Catholic priest remain celibate when he could equally be a married Methodist minister?  Why be Catholic if the Eucharist is valid in any church? Why bother with a Pope?
  There are implication to allowing even limited intercommunion.  Would the Catholic be receiving the true Body and Blood of the Lord from a Lutheran minister not ordained in Apostolic Succession?
  We need to think these things out and not react simply from feelings.
  God bless.
