Similar things have been writter about every new pope except Benedict. Benedict missed all the hopey changey press because he was Cardinal Ratzinger before he was Pope Benedict.
He's been made aware of it. Not only does he let it stand, but removes comments protesting it.
Then management wonders why it takes 3 months to attain fundraising goals.
Keepin' it classy.
The used to be nuns.
And if the pope says otherwise, is it not otherwise?
They still haven’t put a woman in this role, you just read a stupid article. Nothing actually happened.
See #22 before he/she scurries that away also.
This is not a blog, but one of the highest circulation newspapers in Spain and Latin America.
Technically speaking you do not even need to be a priest to be a cardinal. The most notorious instance was Cesare Borgia, whose father was Pope.
But the days of the Borgias are past. They were a scandal to the Church. This particular appointment was legal, but clearly not in the Church’s interest.
In other words, it would be legally possible, I suppose, to name a woman a Cardinal, although she could not be made even a Deacon. But I think it would be exceedingly unwise. The historical precedents are not really favorable.
As others have already pointed out, this sounds like another media speculation or smear.
Agreed. That is why I said “they beleive it to be Biblical”
Its not a blog
By the time the media is done picking apart a 12,000 word interview they are going to have the Pope signing treaties with the devil!
The liberal media has everything to gain by twisting the words of the Pope! Let’s face it...articles like this are designed to shock, cause confusion, and drive people away from basic moral truths.
If you think for one hot second the liberal media is going to trumpet something good about the Catholic Church or God, I have a first class ticket for you in hell.
Yeah and I bet you take believe every word or opinion you read in the New York Times too!
I'd like to see such nonsense allowed to remain on FR if the subject was Judaism etc.
This admin moderator need to be fired ASAP.
Of coarse not, but someone was trying to get this thread deleted for being a blog.
Admin Moderator was simply doing his job. He removed your post as “gratuitous language.” You may wish to find a better way to voice your objections.
Yet "admin moderator" and a others deem it appropriate for discourse on FR.
What's worse is that they expect to be given on second of consideration by anyone with an IQ above their age. FR wants, paradoxically, to be taken seriously while allowing nonsense like this.
Okay, whatever. Have fun at the next FReepathon.
Signed - former monthly donor.
I thought this was something interesting to post.
If it is offensive then delete away.
The paper’s ideology has always been defined by a leaning towards Europeanism. Politically, it is situated in the centre-left and the left.
Admin Moderator did not deem it anything. Stuff gets posted here for criticism too, you know. Criticize away.
