[Rosie] If you read the sentence in reverse (the point of the whole gamne), the comma should logically be placed before the word rather than after, shouldn't it?
relief.(Darren) I can read the small stuff now, not by increasing the font size, which the machine seems to ignore, but by increasing the screen res to 1024 x 768, and the DPI 96 to 120.
[Rosie] You are the first person to make me laugh today. No-one else has managed to eke even a smile out of me until now. Thank you, and yes we do have all sorts of ways :-)
yourself(Darren) Good point, but more fundamental is the question of what His Holiness is doing reproducing himself, in contradiction of the normally-required celibacy.
gigantic [Rosie] I direct your attention to the end of this page where they point out that certain Anglican clergy who have married, and later converted to Catholicism, have been permitted to remain married after becoming Catholic priests. If such a priest ascended to the papacy, he could have daughters.
fur [Rosie] Another possibility relates to papal infallibility. The Pope could easily make a pronouncement through extraordinary Magisterium to the effect that the rule about celibacy in the priesthood does not apply to the Pontiff himself. Even if this contradicted previous teaching, such pronouncements are by definition never theologically or morally incorrect. He would then be free to father as many children as he wanted, at the risk of causing a schism in the church!
enormous [R/D] Of course, Popes have not always been 'celebate' or single, the early ones, up to the 11 century, were almost certainly married as society demanded in those days. And I am not RC either.
wouldn't [Rosie et al] Non-Roman (i.e. the Eastern varieties) Catholic priests may marry and father children, although I don't know if any of them may be addressed as "Your Holiness"
