[quote=Anonymous]That's the best you can do?

still not impressed by your blind faith

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are a perfect example of why I can't tolerate the religion any longer.

Blind faith is bullshit.

What if your daughter came home one day wearing a burqa?  Don't laugh. It happened to my former student.

She had found Islam - and a boyfriend who loved his subservient girlfriend.

Is that blind faith?

Really, what in the fuck is the difference?  Any religion that restricts women is a sick "belief" system that supports a patriarchal society.

The church also decided that priests should not to marry so that their land and all of their belongings would stay with the church.  And how about those castrati? politics, power, and sick views on sexuality

Face it, lady. Your blind faith amounts to nothing - unless, of course, you want to keep women down.

straight from [b]your [/b]pope's mouth, by the way - “Women are naturally inept to exercise political office..the order of nature and human activity teach us that a man is superior in the realm of politics…”

New poster.

Why?  Because Catholics believe that Jesus was the founder of a Church and he put Peter and others in charge of that Church (Read Acts of the Apostles).  It follows that he actually gave authority to those people who were in charge of the Church.  They set up rules.  Christians who are Catholic have been following those rules since that time.  Just a footnote, Jesus was fairly specific in advising his followers that the Holy Spirit (the Advocate) would forever guide the Church and the "Gates of hell would not prevail against it".

The Church is clearly imperfect, and has had many imprerfections and imperfect leaders.  However, those who are faithful Catholics believe what Jesus said, that the Holy Spirit would guide the Church.  As such, we feel an obligation to submit to the Church's teachings on matters of faith and morals.

Maybe someday we will have women in the Priesthood.  Maybe we will (again) have married preists (Peter was married).  If so, faithful Catholics will joyfully accept those changes as they are not dogma, but are merely current practice.

I have no idea what answer you gave your daughter, but the true answer about women in the hierarchy of the Church is simple...Because that is what the Church teaches.  The critics in this forum will view this as blind obedience to a "corrupt Church".  For me, it is easy to be obedient as I believe that is what the scriptures teach us.
