It seems that anytime the mainstream media covers the Catholic Church, it does so in order to chastise Her. I am in the process of converting to the Catholic faith, and it saddens me how many Catholic's are willing to abandon their obedience to God, for their own authority. <br /><br />Yes, everything is God's creation, and if God has willed that only men are the priests, then who are we to argue? I know, I know..you say these requirements weren't set-up by God, but by the Church. Well, do you believe that it was Christ who founded the Church? Do you believe that it was Christ who established the priesthood? Do you believe in the authority that the Pope has and our duty to the allegiance to him. <br /><br />God's kingdom is not a democracy. His laws and commands are not open for debate. I don't think the original post in any way, shape, or form suggested that women were somehow inferior because they can't be preist. I think that you are reading your own personal, poitical ideaology into it. I feel that your problem comes down to an issue of obedience. You may disgusted by the lack of women priests, but I am disgusted by the lack of obedience to God, His Mother, and our Pope.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-206524469710613848.post-31360900815621579562009-11-16T15:01:44.407-06:002009-11-16T15:01:44.407-06:00As a fellow Catholic I am disgusted.

Clearly I am a woman, who has no interest in being ordained, but I know many woman who have taken all of the courses to become a deacon but are unable to become one simply because of the way God made them. God makes every single human being, everything is God's creation so why should we as human beings not accept a part of it? I agree that a priest signifies Christ's presence in front of us but doesn't God show himself in all shapes and forms? Yes, Jesus was a man but that does not imply that God is a man. God is not a specific thing that we can grasp. God is usually shown as a good looking, caucasian man but he could be any race, any gender, he could be anything. Men and women are different yes, and I also agree that the sacraments are a gift, not a right. But as a woman I have the right, legally, morally and ethicially to do anything a man can do. Including being ordained as a priest. With the statement "Sometimes we have to accept the role that God gives us and not demand it from him." you are implying that women play an inferior role to men. You also stated that one of the requirements for Holy Orders is to be male. The Holy Orders are something created by God, as are men and women. God does not make requirements for anything. God loves everyone as God has created them. God loves every single person no matter what, no requirements are needed for God's love. Why should requirements be necessary to move closer to God? These requirements are not set up by God but set up by the Church. As stated in your "About Me" you have been a cop for 14 years. You should know that women play an equal role in society today as men do. Why are they unable to expand that role into the Catholic church? I am a Catholic, and I believe in the Church in every aspect except for this one. This aspect of the Church is as ancient as it is. The church needs to be modernized in this one aspect. I'm sure your wife thinks the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
