Just read your article and will read the comments later....and most likely offer my 2 cents worth later.

That's why Mason does so well.

Yes, he was and rightly so.

GFTESS writes: The Catholic Church prohibits women's ordination,

Yes, the CC prohibits women's ordination. She always has, from the moment of the Church's beginning on the First Pentecost Day in 33AD, and always will, until the end of the world. 

The matter is officially closed ever since BL. Pope John Paul II issued Ordinatio Sacerdotalis in 1994 which clarifies the Church's perennial teaching on priestly ordination. In part, no. 4 reads, "Although the teaching that priestly ordination is to be reserved to men alone has been preserved by the constant and universal tradition of the Church and firmly taught by the Magisterium in its more recent documents, at the present time it is considered still open to debate, or the Church's judgment that women are not to be admitted to ordination is a mere disciplinary force. Wherefore, in order that all doubt my be removed regarding a matter of great importance, a matter which pertains to the Church's divine Constitution itself, in virtue of my ministry of confirming the brethren, (St. Luke 22:32), I declare that the Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women and that this judgment is to be definitively held by all the Church's faithful."

This settle any doubt about the authority and permanency of the Church's constant teaching, simply re-affirming by the late Pope's Apostolic Letter founded on the written Word of god. The priestly ministry is mentioned in St. Luke "confirming the brethren" (that would be all us Catholics), was to only men under the Sacrament of Holy Orders. "The laying on of hands" is from the Acts of the Apostles. It did not proclaim a new or altered teaching. This teaching was from the beginning constantly preserved and applied in the Tradition of the Church and now it has been set forth infallibly by the Magisterium of the CC.  

You are grumbling over what you don't know or understand correctly. There is no such thing as an ordained Catholic woman.

Women's ordination in Christ's Church is an impossibility and always has been.

To understand the Church's position on only male priests, we must look at the nature of the priesthood. The priesthood is an office entrusted by Christ to His Apostles...Christ chose only men as His Twelve Apostles and He gave them His authority to teach, govern, sanctify (that is administer the 7 Sacraments, including the Holy Eucharist(Mass) and forgive sins in His Holy Name.

Christ ordained only males because only males can be priests. When priests celebrate the Holy Mass and consecrate the Eucharist, they act in persona Christ, in the person of a groom, the Spouse of Holy Mother Church, which is the Bride of Christ. In this sense, the Church is feminine and the Holy Mass emphasizes the marital relationship between Jesus and His Church by recalling the passage in The Apoc. 19:7-9. The Lamb's Bride is in her wedding garments...the celebrant acting in persona Christ has to be male.

Well, your view about the CC is wrong, completely wrong.  

The CC is a living organism, ever ancient and ever new, is one organic body by the profession of the same Christian Faith, by the participation of the same Sacrifice, and the same 7 Sacraments under the authority of the Sovereign Pontiff and the bishops in union with him, with Christ as her Eternal Head, King and High Priest, so she can hardly ever be outdated.

 The history of the CC gives evidence of miraculous strength, permanence, and unchangeableness, so showing the world that it is under special protection of God. The Church has proved herself indestructible for over 2,000 years against every variety and number of formidable enemies. The Church suffered from persecution and attacks, both outside and inside, and from schism and heresy and dissidents from within her ranks, yet still lives to carry out its mission, its purpose, as its Founder promised.

After every attack against the CC, she rises, the Bride of Christ, ever fresh and new.

The Church only has proved itself an exception to the law of decay and death. Yet, she has watched the birth and decay of every government on earth for over 2,000 years.

 

They cannot have any women intermingling with their priests because they are supposed to live as eunuchs. They might even get the idea of replacing some of their abused children with women just to deal with an adult for a change. A human is an animal and as such is driven to screw … and the righteous amongst you will find a way … the hell with god. 2 hail Marys and 3 our fathers and the pervert is good to go till the next child is raped. Your church is a protection racket for some of the worst criminals imaginable and I want no part of it.

Me too...though it's a kinda' scratching my head funny!

But Militant Atheism is a serious matter.

 

 

 

Are you saying Mason's Schnoz is that big and it helps him with the ladies?

Yea sure that is the root of some of the RCC's problems for sure ... but you have bigger problems from the ordinary christians that will not be dictated to by a pompous old fart whose shit doesn't stink for you, yea right. Besides you need to work on who is being bellicose and who is not. I have perfectly good arguments for evolution but can and readily will change my mind (as if anyone really cares but me) and all you have to do is prove something contrary in human jargon … not catholic speak. You need to point your real scientists towards my competent ones because I am not qualified to argue for them (don’t have enough of an education in all their specific fields). But you I am willing to discuss things with … but you do not seem able to perform even this simple task preferring to pretend to break whatever I say (anything), doesn’t make sense to me??? It is your insistence that magic is the only possible explanation and your refusal to even consider some alternatives that is about as militant as it gets.

Hi Doc, sure, but the point of the article (poorly thought out sorry) was a jab at the outdated church view of the inadequacy of women. (From the OP - This is an example of the outdated and bigoted view of the RCC and their disrespect for women just because they were born female (incubators to pass the male seed).) I don't really care what the church does (or why), as long as their dogma is kept away from the children in public schools. Me mad though, I think not ... they just like to be ornery about everything practical and obvious IMO. As long as there is separation from the church and the state, they have my blessing to believe whatever nonsense they like. I take more liberties with these two than I might should, but they are stout believers in a 6,000 year old universe and that just blows everything they could possibly say out of the waters of reality.

God bless you Lula but you sure are clueless.

 

No, he's furry.

I never said you were mad about it.  If I had to use an adjective, I would have said angry.  Still, I do not concern myself with the inner workings of Free Masons because I do not care what they believe. I was just curious why you would take the time to point out an instance of chauvinism in, what you have made clear you believe, is mythical.

I find that reading your pieces, you are a true atheist, not a phony one (the phony ones are trying to bolster their beliefs by attacking others).  This is atypical of your normal views.

nah!  Robots we got.  Getting juiced up about a subject and misspeaking is half the fun.  You are doing fine.  We all make statements we later regret or did not mean to.  The problem comes when we cannot admit that we made a mistake, and double down on it.  That is where you get most people tripping over their tongue.

Who says you cannot?  Wisdom is knowing when to provide knowledge - even though most will never accept it.  But just because most will not accept it does not mean we should not offer it. 

When I was a child, I knew everything.  When I became a parent, I knew I did not know everything, but I did not know when to talk and when to shut up.

I am learning that now.  I guess that is why everyone sees grandparents as so wise.  They know when to speak and when not to.

They are.  They use to be a lot busier.  But there are still enough around to get a good read and a good discussion going.
