All of them.

As far as the RC Church goes, I really cannot see a good and fair reason why a women cannot or should not be a priest.

The only logical argument you can make against it, would be through the eyes of those that want to retain it as some sort of all male boys club. A kind of Bohemian Grove, but with Holy Water rather than an Owl.

Since there are probably as many, if not more RC females as there are men in this world, it seems rather amiss to me, that not one single RC lady can ever be considered for Priesthood.

She can 'be a good Catholic', the best, better than any of the males around her, and yet, despite that, she cannot take that on to another level, and be a Priest.

I suppose they do have the Female Division, and call them Nuns, but Priests carry out a totally different role.

I cannot see that a women could never possess the 'right qualities', to be a priest, whatever they are meant to be?

I cannot see that she would be any less dedicated to her faith than a man?

I cannot see that she would try less hard for her 'flock', than the male Priest?

And there may be another benefit to the gradual increase in female Priests.

A hidden benefit, if you will.

Now, the RC Church has taken a real battering, of EPIC proportions, over the countless cases of paedophile priests being permitted to get away with their deviant acts, by the RC hierarchy, who would cover it up, send them to a new parish, where the people would be totally ignorant to the fact that the Priest was a known child molestor.

Statistically, a male is many times more likely to sexually abuse any child than a women is.

You can go find that out, it is written, a man is MANY more times likely.

I have no idea why, but it is what it is.

It is logical to then think that with female priests, this fact would follow on, ergo, more female priests = less odds of priest being a paedo.

Can men be nuns?

Seriously, your lame and implied threats, really cut no ice.

Thus, if you have no view on female priests, I am done with ya.

My view is that having female priests goes directly against God.

Your warfare is not against me.

Fine.

Why does it?

As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church. (NIV, 1 Corinthians 14:33-35)

A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. (NIV, 1 Timothy 2:11-12)

Any other reasons are really irrelevant.

This post should have ended the thread, as it explains exactly why it doesn't matter what year it is or anything else. If you don't believe the book you are preaching from, you have no right preaching it. How is a woman supposed to get up in front of people and teach scripture that says she is not supposed to teach it?

Totally agree.

But women seek consolation in reading the stars.

This is God's word. There are reasons outlined in the Bible why women shouldn't be in such positions. If they aren't sufficient for you then ask Him when you face judgment. As for now, on this Earth, your worry is how you are going to conduct your declared war against billions of humans and actually be successful. You're better off pushing back tsunamis on your spare time.

Or even better than preaching it, acting on the command.

So.

With that in mind, how do you feel about murdering someone for working a Sunday?
