text: Married priests? You already have them in the Eastern Rites and in converts from high churches. You Catholics have told us on the Thames side of the divide, that they are mostly great, if  fiscally stretched.  Brazil, where low church Protestantism is flourishing, suffers from a dearth of RC clergy, and some see a bright line from that fact to the ascendancy in the last quarter century of the Pentecostals and evangelicals.
   
  In reading the comments from you good RC here, this new year has brought the unlikely scenario of my agreeing, as an Anglican/Episcopalian, with the sentiments of some of the trads on here rather than some of the regulars. Yes, you are in union with Christ as an assembly of believers, and Morning prayer (once the mainstay of Sunday worship) can be wonderful. But we've gone to the Eucharistic celebration as the focus of weekly worship. Sacraments are important to our tradition. Christ did say : Do this in remembrance of me, and we offer a sacrifice.
