What are you talking about? What "fundamental rights" do Catholics think women don't possess? I've misses the drive to have Catholic burkhas and not allow Catholic women to drive, vote, run companies, etc.
There is no "right" to become a priest. That is God's decision, not a religion's decision to be 'inclusive'. You want to have women priests, gay marriage, group marriage, pedophilia, whatever, fine. Just be so kind as to not call it Christian.
That long backslide for Europe might include the respect for life. Belief in God. The belief in sin and redemption. Morals. The belief in the sanctity of marriage. In short, the Muslim invasion might drive people back to church from their self indulgent secular socialism that provides nothing other than a shrinking population and humanistic self indulgence.
Europe is nothing to admire. Neither is Canada. As for Jesus returning. I think he has his own schedule. Until that time we should be as faithful as possible to his teachings and the church he left. Not progressive in our interpretations and a drive to be 'inclusive'.

See Post #5. That's what I was making my response to.

There are some really, really, really serious differences in the ways Catholics and Protestants read the Bible.

BTW, the opportunity for a woman to become a Roman Catholic Bishop is roughly identical to the opportunity for a woman to become a Grand Ayatollah. Check it out!

BTW, adhering to a blief in the Priesthood of All Believers hardly makes one a non-Christian nor a supporter of pedophilia.

I suggest you run the idea past your parish priest ~ what we disagree on is the position of women in the administrative structure of the church ~ the ecclesiastical, not the theological or the moral side.
