“Only priests may preach during Mass. Laymen and women are free to preach at other times.” -
That’s the question.
“This is a liberal urban legend”
Absolutely wrong.
“The nature of a nun is to be a celibate.”
The tradition of a nun is to be a celibate - the nature of a nun is to do the work of the church.
As Yogi Berra said..."you could look it up."
I’m afraid you are the one who is wrong. Pax et Bonem.
Yes indeed you are.
CELIBACY - A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
The tradition of a nun is to be a celibate - the nature of a nun is to do the work of the church.
Time for you to brush up on St. Paul.
"And the unmarried woman and the virgin thinketh on the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she that is married thinketh on the things of the world, how she may please her husband." 1 Corinthians 7:34
The definition of a ‘nun’ is one who takes solemn vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience and lives a monastic life.
One of the classic signs of a modernist liberal is to attempt to change the definition of terms. There are many ways for women to profess devotion to God. One who chooses to live a monastic life is a ‘nun’. Period.
Please choose a different term for the kind of women’s vocation you are talking about. Don’t obfuscate the Catholic definitions.
Vatican II did not alter any Catholic dogma, though many would love to believe that. The so-called “Spirit of Vatican II’ is dying due in large part to Benedict XI who started to kill it as a Cardinal. Good riddance to that horrific attempt to wound the Body of Christ.
BTW, Christ and St. Paul both spoke of celibacy as the ideal way to dedicate one’s life to Christ. The married priesthood has always been a merely tolerated discipline. Even in the East, the celibates have always been more highly regarded (the monastic tradition started in the East as did the concept of ‘hermit’.).
It was suggested to you that you obtain real Catholic catechesis. If you choose not to do that, then don’t attempt to pander your liberalism as Catholicism.
And I’d be happy to go toe-toe with your priest. He evidently needs some catechesis as well if he permits you to hold your non-Catholic views (the concept of ‘female priests’ is condemned as contrary to the Faith by the Catholic Church, and the holding to the concept of a ‘married’ nun shows theological ignorance if not liberal double-speak.).
