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.

Well ya but that's the bible...They are talking about the Catholic religion...

The catholic religion does believe in the Bible. Oh wait we give it to the world! So yes I’d say we believe in it.

I talked to some friends last night about the role of female deaconess in the Bible and most think their role was purely administrative. There are debates over this. I do know however the female deaconess were assigned to help female members of the church, which considering we wish to avoid another sex scandal is a good idea.

One must remember that when it comes to discussing Scripture, you couldn’t find your backside with both hands if spotted nine fingers.
