Quote from: Capt McQuigg

In all likelihood, this novus ordo presider is trying to push the conversation in the direction of allowing priests to marry.  

There are hundreds of other locations he could have kept this cherished possession and the fact that he picked the one location that would cause scandal raises a lot of questions.  

I disagree. By earing that kind of ring he is signaling to those who in circuмstances where it would not be obvious (some of these priests don't dress like priests) that he has a commitment and is not available for romantic liasons.  

Of course, why didn't I think of that.  Fix one problem, i.e., priests not dressing like priests, by starting something new, i.e., priests wearing wedding bands.

Who cares that the novelty will not be understood by everyone and give many people the wrong impression.  The one thing we must never do is return to what has been tried and tested over the centuries.  Poche, when the Conciliar church officially starts ordaining women, you will be among the first to tell us why it's a good idea.
