text: A reply which confirms the sloppiness of saying: " the Catholic Church for more than a thousand years has defined the priesthood in terms of monasticism, not ministry, and only agreed to a transition at Vatican II"
  
  Because: 
  1, Bellarmine is late 16th-early 17th century ... which is not "a thousand years" ago.
  2. The authors argue that he espoused a monastic "model": not quite the same as saying the priesthood was "defined" in this way.
  
  This without:
  1. going into why he felt such a model was needed ... (context)
  2. asking you to show anywhere that Vatican II "... agreed to such a transition ..."
