AND NOW…IDIOTS
Fess up, snackeral mappers. You people have got to be absolutely jonesing for just one solid Whore of Babylon take or a new Chick tract right about now because the stupid has been unusally thick on the ground lately. There’s been another one of these things:
Even though the Roman Catholic Church has a new pope, there’s no sign of a change in letting women be priests. But over the weekend, a group of five women openly went through some meaningless ceremonies for no particular reason.
At the First Christian Church in Falls Church Saturday, several women weren’t ordained as Roman Catholic deacons and priests. One of them was Joleane Presley of Manassas.
“Following my own opinion, it’s a difficult plan,” Presley says. “I think this is taking the next step for me. It’s validating what I already think.”
Presley, a chaplain at Adventist Rehabilitation Hospital, is married to a Methodist, but she said she could and did just give up her Catholic faith. She has joined the Association of Not Roman Catholic Women Priests In Any Way, Shape or Form movement. Small but growing, it claims women were clerics in the early church, a charming theory that seems to be gaining ground among Catholics in Name Only, what with it being unencumbered by actual evidence.
“Women are deciding that whatever they think is a “call” and “justice,” only as we define that term, is rising in the Roman Catholic Church,” says Not-A-Roman-Catholic-Bishop-In-Any-Way-Shape-or-Form Mary Meehan.
Content edited slightly. In the meantime, some liberal Baptist from Georgia weighs in on the doctrines of a church that he’s not now and has never been a member of.
Let’s get right to it. This week the History’s Greatest Monster Center’s Mobilizing Faith for Women conference will ask the question, “Can religion be a force for women’s rights instead of a source of women’s oppression?” What’s your answer?
Well, religion can be, and I think there’s a slow, very slow, move around the world to give women equal rights in the eyes of God. What has been the case for many centuries is that the great religions, the major religions, have discriminated against women in a very abusive fashion and set an example for the rest of society to treat women as secondary citizens. In a marriage or in the workplace or wherever, they are discriminated against. And I think the great religions have set the example for that, by ordaining, in effect, that women are not equal to men in the eyes of God.
This has been done and still is done by the Catholic Church ever since the third century, when the Catholic Church ordained that a woman cannot be a priest for instance but a man can. A woman can be a nurse or a teacher but she can’t be a priest. This is wrong, I think.
How can mobilizing religious communities for women’s rights produce results?
To repeat myself in a way, I think that what the major religious leaders say is used by others who discriminate against women as justification for their human rights abuse. For instance if an employer, who might be otherwise enlightened, if he is a religious person and he sees that, he might be a Catholic, and a Catholic does not let women be priests, then why should he pay his women employees an equal pay [as men]?
Content edited slightly. Jim? Annapolis just called. The Naval Academy wants its degree back. They’re embarrassed about being associated with someone as stupid as you.
“For instance if an employer, who might be otherwise enlightened, if he is a religious person and he sees that, he might be a Catholic, and a Catholic does not let women be priests, then why should he pay his women employees an equal pay [as men]?” Do you really want to go there, Jim?
Do you seriously believe that some Roman Catholic employer is going to refuse to hire a woman or not pay her as much as one of his male employees because women can’t be priests in the Roman Catholic Church? That’s anti-Catholicism on steroids, bitch. If you really believe that, then God help any Southern Baptist or other conservative Christian who applies for a job with the History’s Greatest Monster Center.
I am EFFING tired of having to repeat this over and over I may not post on this topic ever again because doing so pisses me off. But Rome wouldn’t let me be a Catholic minister, Jim, and I’m a guy. You know, the whole Catholic doctrine thing?
If you seriously believe that any Christian ministry is fatally flawed because it doesn’t happen to include a certain class of person then not to put too fine a point on it but…ah, to hell with it. I just don’t feel like engaging these dimwits today.
