This will upset the "we are Church" brigade, not to mention those bishops who are happy to preside over a slow decline in vocations and have for years been enthusiastically planning "for a time in which it will be possible to 'do without' ordained ministry". Roll on the re-installation of altar rails if only to remind the laity which is their area of ministry and which is the ordained priest's.
