Christ commanded us to feed His Flock by providing the Eucharist.
In the Western Church, and therefore in most of the world, this
has been done principally by secular priests.

A secular or Tridentine priest is celibate,is one supported by a
parish and who has had a lengthy theological education. According
to Wikipedia, there are 50,000 parishes without these priests, not
counting parishes now closed .They can never now be replaced.

The fulfilment of Christ’s command is therefore being prevented
by the tradition- which is all that it is- that only the secular
priest can provide the Eucharist.

It is gradually being realised by some at all levels in the
Church that we have no right to deny the Eucharist to millions
simply because of a defunct tradition.

1. This blog,”To Feed The Flock” exists to join with these
in pointing out that there is mno real difficulty in finding
another way of providing the Eucharist, i.e.by extending
ordination.

2. It will also speculate as to why another way is not being
provided, and as soon as possible.

3. It will also highlight China, which will soon be the
world’s leading power. The spiritual longings of its millions
as we know, are being denied to them just now . In a
future,different,era, things will change. But it will be
impossible to provide the Eucharist for China’s people
unless ordination is extended. It has been said that
the Western Church has lost Europe, our young people,
and the poor.
How can weface Christ if we also lose China ?
