By Anthony Stine, Return to Tradition, (Complicit Clergy) - Cardinal Mario Grech, who heads the Synod of Bishops at the Vatican, said one of its main aims is to shift the church away from clergy-heavy leadership and start to give lay people more say in decision-making in their parishes, dioceses and even in the Holy See... Even if there is resistance to it among some clergy, the church must understand that the Holy Spirit is not the exclusive domain of priests, he insisted, and while the irreplaceable ministry of priests remains vital, there is ample work that lay people can and should be doing – not merely the day-to-day running and financial administration of a parish, but even take over some rituals and sacraments.
