Oh well; you know those Kentucky women.

I did not see who did the “ordination.” Did I miss something?

Lets see, a treasonous illegal immigrant President

vs

An American born loyal Lab.

Yep, the lab would make a better President, He at least has two out of three qualifications.

And any dog knows more about finances than Hussain.

“Seventy percent of U.S. Catholics believe that women should be allowed to be priests, according to a New York Times/CBS News poll earlier this year.

I don’t think that 70 percent of Catholics believe women should be priests. I’m glad that the Catholic Church does not rule by poll. Everything is politics to the media.

Those 70 percent who are unhappy can always go somewhere else and let me practice my religion as I believe it should be practiced. I’m not forcing them to do anything but somehow they believe they should force me. This is pure bs.

[verga]

For your list.

One of the reasons that religion should be considered sinful in itself. It gives way too many wedge issues that detract from the real purpose of Carrying the Word and the Good News. If we would all spend 10% of the time, we do when bemoaning the different religious scandals, in carrying the Word as it is laid out in the Bible, we would be much more aligned with His Will. When Jesus told us to “resist not evil”, He knew what he was saying. As sinful by nature creatures, we cannot resist evil; that’s His job and He has declared it “resisted”. We can do nothing for God by calling out all the evil in the world while we let such activities take time and energy away from carrying the message that He wants to spread.

My parish had 2 priests involved in this sexual misconduct mess. It tore our church up and set up factions fighting one another. One side not believing the accusations and the other disgusted by the whole thing. Would we have such a mess with women in place? I don’t know. Both priests ended up in other parishes after Cardinal Bevilaqua had them spend a few months reflecting on what they did. I read the file on line put out by the Philly DA. I am not so sure we are not headed for a compromise due to lack of vocations and suitable male applicants.

What do you consider, "religion"?

It’s not really about the issues they claim to have with the Catholic Church, or Christianity. If it was, they could do as people all through history have done and start their own denomination. They choose to remain within the fold because they are actually wolves attempting to demolish the fold.

“We can do nothing for God by calling out all the evil in the world ...”

Kind of hard to preach repentance if there is nothing to repent from...

“Catholic” should be a registered trademark and rigorously enforced
