Well, all he said was only that it was possible, he never preached, promoted or in any way encouraged it. It is a quote that is most often misquoted or "conveniently" misunderstood.
You say "he believed it could be done by the laity and acted upon." He never said that, and he never meant that or he would have said that. That's why I say that sedes should not quote him at all, because like you, they tend to put words in his mouth that he did not say.
You don't preach a possibility other than....to preach it! He said it in a sermon to seminarians and he was an honest man, so he preached it. Yes, he promoted the possibility. He considered it immanent and a possibility in the very near future. Nothing misquoted. Read the whole thing in context. He felt it important enough to be published TWICE in the Angelus in the same year.
Just like I showed you St. Francis de Sales implied it takes no special faculty to discern and include it, the Abp did the same. Otherwise he would have be responsible enough, in the same sermon to the seminarians, qualified that they shouldn't do it themselves. He didn't.
All wrong, buddy.
