But, I'm a Baptist, and I believe that only men should participate in the church service. I am not bashing Catholics, and I am not out to prove a political point.

My point of view is that all of the churches have their own rules, which they should follow faithfully. If they don't they will not have any influence in our lives. And without God's protection, we will cease to exist.

I do not know why you address this comment to me...

but on the other hand stop insulting women by telling them that people can participate in seven sacraments...only men can.

Sorry, not aimed at you...more at the Church. I'm comfortable with the men only priest rule, but the church ought to be more straightforward and say there are seven sacrements for men and six for women and explain why that's the case.

The reason the entire post was directed at you was just by chance. A number of posters talked about not changing traditions or rules and yours was just the one I happened to click on. My main point is that over the centuries and millenia, an organization has to evolve its traditions and customers (after much careful deliberation) but not its core beliefs.
