Religion is for men

Well, folks, take it or leave it, the RCC has taught infallibly on this matter and does not consider itself in any way possessive of the right to change the requirements for ordination.Has the church allowed a high place for women? Yes. Again, there are at least 3 female Doctors of the Church, countless mystics, visionaries, martyrs, queens, foundresses, missionaries, and even a military leader.

That is a messy way of saying it, but I know what you mean. The Pope can tell you he saw your mom, and be dead wrong. I see. It's really not that the Pope is allowed to be anything. The Pope can be wrong about science and movies, but again, not about doctrine and such.Popes do not and will not toss out the ruling of past popes. The object is at all times to maintain tradition, and to publically define what has been held on faith.As a side note, I did not say anything about papal infallibility.

I never said anything remotely close to that. It wil always be easy to debunk things when you contort them. What I did say was that the male-only priesthood is Biblical and based on the actions of Jesus. It is taught infallibly, and no amount of speculation about who woulda coulda shoulda been anywhere, will change that.

Bring 'em on for examination. See below; I do not have a dishonest bone in my body. I would like to know what makes you think I am being dishonest? If you can't prove that I am dishonest, I will have to complain. Oh, and about the infallibility; I still never said anything about the Pope. I said, 'taught infallibly'. This phrase refers to the episcopal Magesterium of the Church, not the Pope. The Pope defines infallibly.

The honest have every need to be honest if they are accused of lying. I am hoping that you will be willing to learn something instead of calling people liars. Again, I never mentioned Papal infallibility.Here's a clue; how do you think the Pope was ruled infallible?

I am going to insist, yes, that I did not mention Papal infallibility. Here is another clue for you; no Pope has spoken ex cathedra since 1950. Infallibility of the Church - WikipediaThe church has taught infallibly, not the Pope. You are of course welcome to question, but Catholics are not, as per Ordinatio Sacerdotalis. So, in fact, I was not speaking about Papal infallibility, and I was very honest in leaving an open end for questions about whether or not the popes would ever rule definitively. Thank you.

That is what I said. Not;

Altogether it was a lousy way of saying;
Men may be better in certain areas, I am comfortable giving credit when it is due without getting up-tight and crying 'sexism', but in this issue I must
disagree with the blanket statement that 'Religion is for Men'Going by history, we could conclude that painting is for men. Music, literature, science, sporting, philosophy and many other areas are dominated until recently by male contributions, although of course women were equal in patronage and appreciation. When you look through the ages, there are two areas where women DO stand out as important figures, and religion is one of them.In fact, outside of the RCC priesthood, the leadership role of women in religion is progressing more at present than it is in some secular traditions. As mentioned, we have not yet had a female president, and other positions such as orchestral conductor, are rarely filled by women.So, I would say Religion is not 'for men' but that certain functions have been overseen by men traditionally, which correspond to the roles given men in society.Edited by anastasia, : No reason given.
