Sketching out the agenda for the Hierarchy Meeting and for the debate of the Statutes. Perhaps Cormac, Pat Kelly, Vincent and self, etc. to meet. Points to make:

• dispensation from celibacy for married clergy judged suitable candidates for priesthood
• Holy Father and CDF said be "generous" and "flexible" - too hasty a response will send wrong signals
• several Bishops (Southwark, Arundel & Brighton, East Anglia) putting their men through a two year part time course at Wonersh - two years should be a minimum.
• time prior to preparation should include that already undertake
• ordination should not be presumed
• finance needs spelling out
