This was only reported today, so Google probably hasn't pickted it up yet. And it's not "my" story. I saw it mentioned on Amy Welborn's blog (in the comments), and took a look.

The other thing is: this could be another Abp. Flynn situation. If you know what I mean...

You're accusing posters of posting bogus stories because they don't "google"? Just because it doesn't "google" doesn't mean squat.

Why not follow the link and register instead of sticking your foot in your mouth.

Try Googling 'Swiss bishops'.

First story up is from swissinfo.org and contains this:

Pastoral assistants

Another sensitive issue due to be discussed was the role of lay theologians in the life of the Church.

In Switzerland, the shortage of priests has led to a greater dependency on non-ordained theologians to fulfil some priestly duties.

Two weeks ago the Swiss Bishops Conference issued a paper recognising this situation and officially permitting lay theologians to preach during Mass, in apparent contradiction of a Vatican edict of last year that only priests can deliver sermons.

The paper also gave lay pastoral assistants the right to baptise, and said Protestants could take communion in certain cases.
