I think the two conservative and outdated dogmas (as well as their sheepish followers) are wrong, and the two brave chix should be rewarded for taking on the Theocratic Establishment and moving humanity forward. Heck, if Wiccans can have women priests, why can’t Catholics and Jews? Is it the Mary of Magdalene dilemma?

Why don’t spiritual people like chix?

Is the right answer: “everybody is wrong”?

I say this because it’s all whack. First, Burke and the Catholic Church are wrong on their position about women. The women themselves could find a denomination that does accept women ordinants. The Episcopal Church might be a good choice–very close to Catholic dogma. (Yes, I realize these denominations are completely interchangeable, but why hold on to something/someone that so clearly doesn’t want you!).

CRC shouldn’t even be getting involved. If they want to ordain one as a Rabbi, but do they have the power to ordain folks into other church’s leadership roles.

And why is the Jewish community shunning CRC? Is it other reform congregations? Just orthodox? The latter has such anti-female policies that mirror the Rom Cath Church, that it might be understandable.

And, why not, I am wrong for just adding my two cents (once again).

I’m sorry. That should say that “I realize these denominations are NOT completely interchangeable”

I just think it’s kind of odd that the revatively new religion of christianity and its offshoots think they rule the universe. Earlier religions had women in positions of power. They were the earliest doctors and rulers. I don’t listen much to any “church” that supports child abusers and abuse of schoolkids. I still remember the head priest in our hometown who locked a nun outside his tax free crib in the middle of winter until she was sick because she disobeyed his poo bah butt. More power to any of god’s children who stand up for their humanity and rights. We need to make those scammers pay taxes. They are not even required to open the italian books. I pray that more women will quit being compliant to the insanity of discrimination.

What Would Jesus Do? Tell women they can’t witness the good news! Hey Archishop and the Catholic hierarchy, give God a break (if there is one).

Why should we be surprised by Raymond?

Jesus condemned the teachers of the law and religious authorities of his day. Love God and neighbor: the Two Great Commandments.

Really, the more this AB opens his mouth (or puts pen to paper), the more foolish and archaic he looks — and the more credibility he loses (assuming he had any such in the first place
O well, just more crap!

You’re right, Joseph #6… all those other Catholic bishops would say, “Great witness to your faith, ladies!” Only Archbishop Burke would be such a killjoy!

You’re all invited to my inauguration as President of the United States next weekend. My buddy, Dave, who recently appointed himself Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, will be swearing me in.

I’m going to (gasp) withhold judgment till I read the story and get some understanding of what is going on. It sounds pretty bizarre.

I’m going to guess that pretty much no one who has made a comment on this issue really knows why the Catholic Church holds this position. Here is the address of an Apostolic Letter on this issue titled “ORDINATIO SACERDOTALIS” for anyone who would like to actually try to understand the Catholic position on this before making irresponsible analogies and comments.

wow this stuff is funny, talk about living 400 years in the past
