These people are still in an uproar that a Catholic was actually chosen Pope.
If this group "packed" some Protestant church, I'd hate to see the place on a Sunday morning.
So priests don't only abuse boys?
and I bet the reporter exaggerated a bit. My guess there weren't even 75 and out of that, I bet many were not Catholic.
She has the right to spout her nonsense anywhere else she wants to, just not in a Church, because that gives the impression that the Catholic Church is in agreement with what she has to say. She, and the Church, knows that is not true.
"Serratelli, spoke before a packed audience..."
"She told an audience of about 100..."
Blah, blah, blah. Obviously the same unwashed 37 that show up for all this kind of cr@p were in attendance. BFD.
Did they meet in a phone booth? That would ensure a "packed" audience, LOL!
And she doesn't know who she's messing with Coleus!
Oh yeah, poor little helpless female, being "silenced" by the big bad RCC. How did they "silence" her, did they put panties on her head?
What does she care what the Catholic Church does? She's as Catholic as I am - and I'm Jewish.
I once read a book she compiled called "Choices we Made" about famous feminazis such as Anne Archer, Whoopi Goldberg, and many others who actually BRAG about having had abortions. Sick women, the whole lot of them. And the mug on that girl is enough to make a grown man heave. I was shocked to read that she has a husband. He must be blind, deaf, dumb or all of the above.
I'd say they're more like a 'graying' chorus, since most of them were in their heyday in the late 60's and early 70's. They just don't understand why they're not drawing more Catholics to their cause. Maybe it's because most of those younger than she, who believe what Bonavogilia and her friends believe, have never joined the Catholic Church. They just did the honest thing and either didn't join any Church, or joined a Church that comported with their beliefs. They didn't bitch and moan and try to change one that teaches what it had taught since the beginning, then get mad because those dried up old men wouldn't change their minds and get with the times.
Women cannot be ordained because women cannot confect the Holy Eucharist, as taught by the Holy Spirit through John Paul II.
The irony here is that if the Roman Catholic Church ordained women as priests, that would be proof that it is a sham.
Since it is not a sham, it ain't gonna happen!
I bet she would have been content with Tubby Kennedy as Pope.
</sarcasm>
"How did they "silence" her, did they put panties on her head?"
No, no! Aren't you up on Current Events? No more 'panties on the head' photos. The Brits publish pictures of you in your Tighty Whities in 'The Sun' to silence you, now. :)
" But most say that assessment is not true, and that they are simply trying to urge the church to become more accessible, accountable and modern."
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Same thing they said in 450AD, 870AD, 1400AD, and so on.
The whims of the current culture do not last. The Universal Church lasts.
Power likes only lies. I finally get it!
Viva Papa Benedictus!
We all know who, between Angela and the Church, is going to be "silenced" in the end. And it will be by someone much more powerful than the feminist movement, or the Church for that matter.
As Fr. Coripi said ,"Oh you can follow your own conscience, but you'll go to hell
