Express your frustration with the Church's inflexible stance on allowing married men to become deacons. Also cite a personal example of how the Church's rules affected someone you know.
Our stupid, rigid, and inconsiderate institutional Church again shows its inability to understand the Human condition.  A bunch of celibate (or so they say) lawmakers in Rome wrote the rules for an optional-married Deaconate, and the results are what this story reports.  I'll add another.  I have a cousin, a wonderful man who is a semi-retired police officer, married for 40 years and had two children who are accomplished adults, and one is married with two children and very active in their parish as well.  My cousin applied for and was accepted for the Deaconate program in our diocese.  After about 3 months, he received a call from someone telling him he was rejected from the program.  They at first refused to provide the reasons why: it took some time to learn that his wife, who was unable to adjust her work schedule, could not attend the required meetings for wives, and so they threw my cousin out.  As if we have too many Deacons  in the first place.  Church idiots.
