As noted here, Pope Francis, who once boasted of having been a bouncer,"has called for more women in the International Theological Commission, even after tripling the number of women on the team this past September. 'In the ever more diverse makeup of the Commission,' he said, 'I want to see a higher presence of women.'
The Pope also said recently that it is chiefly women who pass on the faith, and urged men to listen to women more and not be so 'macho.' He said that men often don’t allow enough room for women while 'women are capable of seeing things with a different angle from us, with a different eye.'
Got that? You men who are discerning a vocation to the priesthood must come to view masculinity as a sort of disease which leads to men ignoring women and ultimately excluding them. Men must be ashamed of their masculinity and learn to identify more with women. We don't listen enough to women? I think the problem, at least in the West, is that we cater too much to women. One could certainly argue that women in Islamic nations are suppressed and relegated to the status of furniture. But not in the West. Throughout the Church in the United States, women outnumber men in virtually every Church ministry. Everyone knows this. The absence of laymen participating in Church ministries to any appreciable degree is the result of the effeminization of the Church, the Cult of Softness.

Does he carry a bigger gun than you? No? Pass.
First, he came for the squirrels, but I wasn’t from Arkansas, so I didn’t say anything.
Then, he came to promote climate change, but I wasn’t paying attention, so I didn’t say anything.
Then, he came to support gay families, but I wasn’t a homo, so I didn’t say anything.
Then, he came for the dolphins by releasing balloons, but I don’t eat balloons or dolphins, so I didn’t say anything.
Now, he’s coming for men, but there’s no one to speak up for me...
“I hope he’s addressing his comments to latin America. If America gets any more feminized we’ll stop procreating all together.”
Post of the Day! LOL

The dolphins would have spoken up for you if you helped them you bastard. ;-)
Yeah, if he waxes his eyebrows or has sequins or rhinestones on the pockets of his jeans ... GTFO. I don’t need a man who reveres bling over camo.
SMFH.
Scrawny is out too.
I’m not interested in fat, but a manly man should have some meat on those bones.
And muscle, not flab.
Yup. And that’s why I live alone.
Coals a blazen...think we need ta do a pig roast on the spit grill soon!
Right on. TCMS manly men kick @ss.
>>>Oh, please, Francis, stop. As a single woman, my biggest dating problem has been the lack of masculinity in so many men these days.<<<
Hmmm. I thought online dating made things easier for women. Put up some pretty pictures and sift through dozens of emails from guys sending you messages. No?
Without a spit, a pit will prolly work best.
Them pigs spit grease real well over the coals!
Yeah they do.
I don't really care if he can use a computer, but he better damn sure know how to use a weapon of some kind.
Will this guy NEVER shut his mouth. As a Catholic, I am getting really ticked off at Benedict for resigning. We now have a total horse’s ass living in the Vatican’s hotel.
Need a Caja China.
When I was a girl in Florida, we used to hunt wild boar (and gators, but that’s another story). They cook up really nice on a campfire spit.
Gator... its like fish poke chops!
These stories need be told at the next campfire!
