Well maybe am just imagining things, but the outcome of the synod seems to have been clear even before it starts, if the major issue to be discussed is thesame which Cardinal Muller and. Kesper has been more like debating on and the Pope happens to have been in line with cardinal Kesper, then this synod might just be to cement the "pro communion for the divorced and re-married Catholics' supporters" that why I said let God's will be done.

Yeah I noticed that too, but I wasn't bothered because I know, as long as you hang around here, you will soon know the truth

@jnrbayano... May all that you seek from God be accorded to you through the intercession of our mother Mary... Remain blessed my guy...

Simply broken down, the ministerial Priesthood as
it is now shows forth the seriousness of the Call of
Christ to repentance and salvation. If priests were
allowed to marry, it would look ordinary and their
families will definitely affect their ministry. Imagine
how it would be when you are not sure why a
priest is asking for financial aid, you wonder if its
for family luxury or something. Imagine how it
would have been with those heroic priests who
answer sick calls in the middle of the night, how
possible would it have been if they were wrapped
by a woman’s embrace? Imagine how it would
have been transferring a Priest from parish to
parish with his whole family. A priest has NO
LAND, NO PROPERTY. He is a wayfarer, an itinerant
preacher, this would have been rendered
impossible by Marriage and family. Besides,
neither his ministry as priest or as husband/father
would florish seeing that one requires readiness to
move, the other requires being in one place for a
long time. The kids cannot keep registering in new
schools every time you know. Then, imagine that
because of the marriage in priesthood, he gets to
stay very long in a parish, imagine how this would
affect his ministry. People without knowing it get
tired of a priest (especially when he is viewed as
being at the same level with them in terms of
holiness and worries). Those transfers make an old
priest new and appreciated in a new place.
They are called to “.. Abandon Father, Mother,
Homeland, wife, children, for the sake of Christ/the
Kingdom of God” Matthew 19:29.
Again ” For there are eunuchs who were born that
way, and there are eunuchs who have been made
eunuchs by others–and there are those who
choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the
kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this
should accept it.” Matthew 19:12.
Priests go to the priesthood knowing they won’t
be allowed marriage, and this is not bad. It would
have been evil, if someone were told he’ll marry
and later forced not to.
Finally, they are called to be like Christ; Alter
Christus, and to act “in persona Christi Capitis”, in
the Person of Christ the Head. So common sense
justice demands that they emulate the footsteps of
their master, even as the Apostles and the early
Christian clergymen emulated him.
From a more theological perspective:
Priests aren’t negative symbols, they’re not
“prohibited” from something, they are rather geared
or given to another. It is not that their celibacy is
a privation, its actually a marriage to Christ. They
make the future present before our eyes by
symbolizing the world we hope to live in when the
Lord’s Kingdom comes. We know that through
them the Lord nourishes and governs his Church.
It is not simply a calling to reject marriage but to
actually embrace it. Priesthood is always a
scandal; one of true love and heroic self-giving.
Whenever people consider priesthood from a
worldly standpoint, it seems to be a “running
away” from the responsibility of marriage or a
rejection of love. But how can a person possibly
survive the priesthood if he isn’t a person of love
and sacrifice? Who else makes the bond of
marriage more “romantic” and more alive than the
priest whose very life speaks volumes of the
indissolubility of the sacraments of Order and
matrimony. He is another Christ, from whom all
the sacraments spring.
A priest is a symbol of Christ, of all the
sacraments. It is a gift of love and a symbol of the
future. The priesthood isn’t for the lazy or the
selfish, it is for the courageous, for people of faith,
of hope and of intense love.

Do you mind enlightening me a little on your position?

Interesting, Why? And what restrictions are you talking about and where do we draw the line of it's reasonable nature?

I believe you know we are not talking about those whose marriages were properly annulled by the church but those who opted out on their own.
