Zone1 should the Catholic Church have women priests as well?

There are these ancient things known as

books

Then not so ancient things called videos (Most Holy Family Monastery website)

So, you believe everything that ancients wrote like you do CNN, MSNBC?

"Saying something preposterous and outlandish because of some... bible claim

could actually be true

Who knew?

And some god COULD have just plopped down a fully formed Adam onto earth and made a woman from his rib, and there COULD be an abominable snowman and cheese on the moon.

Oh well, I guess you don't like reality so you just talk about what God COULD have done, not what He really has done or is doing.

Your choice

intellectual laziness... can't even visit that site I provided

Well, like I just told someone else, I don't converse with people who don't know where I'm coming from or at least show a hint of interest. You just like to kick everything someone says aside and pretend you're above it all...

how immature

He offed the entire human race and animals. called for genocide, made rules about beating slaves. As a fiction book, it is certainly filled with enough madness and horror for all sadists.

I have heard ever single defense of your bloodthirsty imagined god by every apologist. It's my hobby to listen to atheists like Dillihunty, Sam Harris, and scores of others decimate Christians.

I have no problem believing God would do all that. Humans are nasty creatures much of the time. The chosen people were persecuted by the pagans/heathens relentlessly, always making them go to war, like it or not (and who likes to fight wars?)

So God wiped their sorry asses off the planet. Good for Him...

Those of the chosen who disobeyed his laws often suffered the same fate although since Jesus came, He waits until the very end to dump them into Hell for defying Truth, Justice and the Godly way... I sometimes long for the good old days when Justice happened more swiftly.

Children and animals that God killed or ordered killed disobeyed his laws?

I've been Catholic all my life

No one can decimate my Faith. Sorry to disappoint. Maybe it's time to get a new hobby.

I feel sorry for you and others who do not have the Real Presence of Christ. When one is there, one feels KNOWN -- and (despite being imperfect) ACCEPTED.

He helps us with our problems... and I could go on and on about what happens there... something you will apparently never know because you have written it all off as superstition.

Take a picture of him someday when he "helps you with your problems". In the alternative, an audio tape of you begging him to do so.

No one. People can stay in the cult.

Says the guy who said he would abolish and ban religion.

You know… like the communists did? Some patriot you are.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

In Catholicism, scripture is the inspired Word of God, a foundational source of faith that provides the narrative framework for God's saving plan and the teachings of Jesus Christ. However, scripture is understood in the context of Sacred Tradition and the Magisterium (the teaching authority of the Church), which together form the "pillars" of Catholic belief, with Tradition and the Church predating and defining the scriptures themselves.

The Church, which existed before the Bible and compiled it, interprets scripture through the lens of Sacred Tradition and the ongoing teaching authority of the Magisterium.

catholicism is the motivation of the crucifiers to maintain the corruption of judaism taught by their false prophets as moses the liar rather the true events of the 1st century as jesus and their repudiation of judaism -

as the original religion and goal of antiquity granted by the heavens to a&e for their own self determination for judgement and admission to the everlasting.

It’s funny that you use Adam and Eve as the original religion.

As I say, show me the pictures of Christ strengthening you.

 

[BreezeWood]

you know the illogical example of the true Scotsmen?

.

they redefine the group to exclude the counterexample (e.g., "Well, he's not a true Scotsman").

- not sure you fit the bill ...

 

[Genevieve]

equal rights for all!

also for women to become priests

Whatever the leadership of the Catholic church thinks is right is fine with me.

I am not Catholic.

If I were Catholic, I think I would prefer men as priests - in a fatherly role and women as nuns - in their motherly role.

 

[Paradoxical#1]

I gave Ding an example one day, and he scoffed at it. What it boils down to is that only their beliefs represent a true Catholic, and they can recite scripture to "prove" it, or if not, the opinion of Thomas Aquinas or some obscure rabbi or priest long since dead.

Everyone here to a man, woman or boy will assert what it REALLY means to be a TRUE Catholic and that they are, of course.

Happens all the time. Good times and bad times. He’s doing it right now as I am typing this post.

What do you have that strengthens you?
