While fixing some food for myself a little bit ago, something very obvious occurred to me.

I don’t want to make broad statements based on it, but I wonder how many have realized that the Holy Trinity does not have a woman member.

A woman was selected to be Christ’s mother. Salvation could not have been realized without her. Her role was not to be a part of the Godhead, but her position was very important.

Is it wicked to only have men, or perhaps White men in a leadership group?

Should White people give up their jobs to people of color or a woman? Is that a duty?

It seems to me that opportunities are out there for everyone to develop their own talents. Minorities are free to develop their own leadership teams. Women are as well.

Should there never be a minority or woman on a predominantly White Male team? No. There should always be the possibility of filling an opening with a woman or a minority, if they are the best qualified.

There’s this PC version of everything these days, and if we don’t buy into it, we’re supposed to be the bad people. And it’s pretty obvious the bad people are quite often people who make narrow definitions of what is right or wrong these days.

Malice IS NOT a given conclusion to everything that doesn’t suit us.

The Jews believed that Shekinah, the Hebrew word for "wisdom," contained the female aspect of God and resided in the Ark of the Covenant. This is why Steven Spielberg showed the entity that resided in the Ark as female.

In Greek, Shekinah became Sophia. It was believed by early Christian mystics that Sophia was entity known as the Holy Spirit and was female.

On the frequent Catholic radio ETWN network ads for the show Called to Communion with Dr.David Anders the first example they use is a woman calling in and asking "why can't women be priests?". The show is aimed at non-Catholics (like me).

I can't remember the reason but it had to do with an unbroken line from the past which had male priests only.

Their reverence for Mary includes praying to her to pray for them but not worshipping her, if I'm right on that.

That national TV and radio network was founded by the energetic, funny and charismatic Mother Angelica (of Blessed Memory) who organized the whole thing in Alabama. I have heard a number of her recorded sessions with callers.

Several of their regular shows have women such as Teresa Tomeo who is hard hitting against abortion apologists.

Please note: Many others here are far more knowledegable than I, a non-Catholic.
