The MSM-e, hollywood, activist atheists, activists within the Roman Catholic Church (RCC),etc, have been, and are pushing really hard for the Roman Catholic Church to change its stance on not allowing females to serve as priests.
I don't see these same usual suspects pushing for greater "inclusiveness," i.e., pushing for Sunni, Shiite, or Sufi Islam to allow female Imams or pushing for female Rabbis within Orthodox Judaism, or even other branches of the same.
Just something I’ve wondered about...
What say you?
All views welcome...
All branches of Judaism other than the Orthodox (Conservative, Reform and Reconstructionist) have female Rabbis, and have had them for years.
Catholics are the largest single Christian sect. Many Protestant churches have moved far to the left after adopting women clergy (not necessarily blaming them for that, but this has been the net effect).
Hollywood Libs no doubt feel that they can break the Catholic Church’s grip on traditional morays and teachings by forcing supposedly liberal female clergy on us. Which would go a long way towards meeting their goals of a totally secularized society.
Sunni Islam, Orthodox Jews, too small in number to merit so much of their attention. But after Jerry Falwell’s Moral Majority, the Catholic Church has always been the next big target on their radar.
So the MSM will soon start pushing for female rabbis within Orthodox Judaism?
Doubt it, they seem fixated with Roman Caholicism.
And hell will freeze over before the MSM starts pushing for female Imams within Islam.
About 1 billion Roman Catholics worldwide.
About 1 billion Muslims, be they Sunni, Shiite or Sufi.
Too small a number of Muslims to merit their attention?
And how many in Falwells Moral Majority as compared to Orthodox Judaism?
This is weird but I came up with this, http://pager7.hubpages.com/hub/The-First-Canadian-Female-Imam-Leads-a-Prayer-in-a-Uk-Mosque
but there doesn’t seem to be anything more about her except for this blog mention which gives a last name.

Shouldn’t she be a media celebrity and hero (if she exists at all)???
The filthy hypocrites would never ask for female imans because they would get their heads sliced off.
Besides, they love the death cult and would never criticize it.
Within the context of the US and not World population, yes. Sunni Muslims dwarfed by Catholics at this time.
This female imaman will soon become parted from her head and yes, I did mean to say imaman.
It’s not so much that they love Islam as that they hate Jews and Christians as a proxy to hating God Himself.
It would be interesting to know what policies of the Catholic Church the left hates the most: no priestesses, the discipline of celibacy, prohibition of birth control within marriage, or non-acceptance of divorce and remarriage.
I think if you throw out the discipline of celibacy the only large single Christian groups that haven’t accepted at least one of these are the Amish and maybe the old order Mennonites. They are small when compared to the Catholic Church and by their nature not highly visible.

God meant men to lead congregations and households.
That’s because the people pushing it against Christianity are self, and western civilization loathing, douchebags.
Abortion is certainly a sacrament to the left, but I would tend to go with something unique to Catholics like the discipline of celibacy for regular priests. Think about how many times that has come up with the homosexualist priest scandal.

Well, they definitely hate that too, but I can’t think of any stories I have seen that specifically call out the Catholic Church for its position on straight up sex outside of marriage, maybe in connection with birth control, masturbation or pornography. On the other hand, I’ve seen lots of stories about how the rules within marriage like no birth control or divorce and remarriage are flawed and must be changed.
Freegards
You’re right; the former wouldn’t make a salacious plot for a sitcom, whereas the latter does almost nonstop. Gotta go with what sells.
