Quoting Cardinal William Joseph Levada, prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the statement denies that the delay of the constitution’s publication is due to differing positions within the Holy See.
The note revealed that the constitution is expected to be completed by the end of the first week of November, along with a list of guidelines that will be followed in receiving these Anglican communities into the Church.
“The delay is purely technical in the sense of ensuring consistency in canonical language and references,” said Cardinal Levada in the clarification.
As for future seminarians who are either married now or plan on being married after finishing seminary, I wouldn’t count on them being ordained. Just my opinion, for what it’s worth.
Well, will depend on the guidelines. But…for those folks who marry after seminary, it would have to be after seminary but BEFORE ordination. Because, while they say they will ordain an already married man on a case by case basis, they will not ordain a single man and then allow him to marry. It follows the same practice as the Orthodox.
