Sounds like just another way to foment dissent.
Women Catholic Deacons ‘No Longer Taboo’
There’s hope for Sinkspur!
I guess it’s time for a new top Catholic in Germany. Archbishop of Freiburg Robert Zollitsch clearly would be more at home in the Church of England and he should be helped there post haste!
Projected Outcome:
In related news, Pope Francis accepted Bishop Zollitsch’s resignation...
Cannot (not will not) happen. There is only a single sacrament of Holy Orders which was established by Jesus Christ and which he conferred only on men. The division of the sacrament into three orders of bishop, priest and deacon were a latter development by the Apostles. The impossibility conferring the sacrament on women applies to the deaconate as much as the priesthood.
big taboo here.
Deacons are either married and become a permanent Deacon serving the Church. Their wife will accompany them to many functions.
A transitional deacon is one who will be ordained a priest the following year. They usually work in a parish for during that one year.
I don’t believe post about women deacons at all because the Catholic Church endorses only the two positions I mentioned above.
And He's not found in the mirror.
Female deconess are in the bible so I have no problem with this.
I do believe however there are strict rules in the bible for a woman to be a deconess and that those rules ought to apply today.
Who was teaching these people in the 5th grade?
Perhaps it is the water or an inherent defect in German DNA. We all know of the trouble that a paranoid, schizophrenic, anti-semitic, alcoholic German monk who refused to control his libido caused in 1517.
