@Remnkemi, there is a mention in HG Bishop Gregorious encyclopedia about an exception that is made for consecrated deaconesses to anoint older girls/women only in places that a priest, being a male, can't reach out of decency. I have read it but I h…
@ophadece...recently (and by that i mean in the last 20 yrs or so), priests are becoming much closer to their spiritual children, mainly the youth. Many are taking the role of a Spiritual Adviser rather than just a Father of Confession. You are righ…
