These feminists need to start their own church or maybe join the episcopalians. Don't want 'em in mine.
Amen to that. Leave us alone, would ya!
Maybe I have a different take on things. I wouldn't have problems if the Church allowed women as priests. What's more important is that the priest (be it a man or a woman) have the orthodox belief in the real presence of the Eucharist. This belief among even the current male priesthood is somewhat in jeopardy and thus among the laity. This is the belief that is at the heart of being a Catholic Christian.
Indeed. For them, the Catholic Church is the ultimate obstacle to their destroyer's ways. What these critics don't seem to get is the fundamental RELIGIOUS DOGMA comes from GOD to HUMANITY and not the other way around. Thus, if they feel so strongly about pro-choice or what-have-you, they could easily find themselves a church which preaches what they want to hear. That's not what Roman Catholicism or even Evangelical Christianity are about. Either you believe there are fundamental, universal, catholic truths or you believe everything's relative.
These critics should go pound sand. They have NO RIGHT to tell the Church it has to liberalize on moral issues such as birth control, homosexual acts, lesbian priests, etc. They're all for religious freedom as long as the religion is not free to be true to itself!
