Are you claiming that women in the pastorate is linked with homosexuality?

[Cronos]

Nope, as I said, logically I see a direct causal link from the time that pastoresses are appointed to "gay marriages"

Take any denomination that has added in pastoresses.

Let's take for instance the ECUSA, here is a timeline

• 1976 -
  • first women pastoresses
  • General convention says that gays deserve "acceptance"
• 1977 - First openly gay priestess (actually a lesbian)
• 1989 - first bishopesses
• 2003 - First openly gay bishop Genie Robinson
• 2006 - first priestess head of the ECUSA (Schori)
• 2009 -
  • the Generatl convention said to develop "theological and liturgical resources for same-sex blessings" and asked bishops to provide "generous pastoral support" for gay marriages
  • July 14 - says "any ordained ministry" is open to gays and lesbians

  One can hardly deny that there seems a direct causal link between first getting pastoresses to eventually "gay marriages"

[Cronos]

That was just the ECUSA, now let see the PCUSA

first pastoresses allowed in the 70s, then by 1997 an Amendment to allow ordination of those not faithful in marriage or chaste in singleness and finally now gay marriages.

There is a link, don't you think so? If not, I welcome your thoughts
