Vatican Consultant ‘Absolutely’ in Favour of Women Priests

The Irish Times ^ | 11/6/14 | Paddy Agnew

[Zionist Conspirator]

For 2000 years the Church only ordained viri = “men”, and insisted the ordination of women was impossible. Not just Catholics, but all the ancient churches—Orthodox, Monophysite, etc.

You ordain women now, you are admitting that the Church was dead wrong for 2000 years.

Now you tell me exactly how you do that without saying the Church wasn’t wrong on any number of other things.

That didn't stop every last one of those churches changing their minds about Biblical inerrancy, Genesis, evolution, etc. Yet were I to say that by doing these things they had already shown that their churches are open to negotiation on everything else I'm sure I would be poo-pooed.

Just keep telling yourselves that none of that matters.

Matthew 7:23 addresses that issue with clarity.

[Claud]

Nobody changed their minds ZC. I will grant you that too many prelates have gone wobbly on inerrancy. But no one has ever put forward the final interpretation of Genesis which de facto excludes all else. It was a complicated question then and is still complicated now.

Goodness, I wouldn’t think anyone so familiar with the Talmud would be so put off by competing schools of thought wrangling over the precise historical/scientific implications of a passage. What you see as “changing their minds” I see as “trying to come to grips with the true meaning of the passage”.

[editor-surveyor]

Hearing the word spoken, and prayer are the only way of “coming to grips” with the true meaning.

“Prelates” haven’t the slightest clue!

Won’t happen.

“As a conservative Catholic..no problem with the idea of woman priests...”

This is not a conservative position, actually. The main reason for no women priests is that they are prohibited in Scripture:

St. Paul to Timothy Chapter 2 verses 12 - 15 pretty much sum it up.
