Agreed!!!

I just love it when these gals get all steamed up and humphy. It seems to make everything ---oh, I don't know--- better, somehow.

[Mrs. Don-o]

She certainly knows less about theology than my fellow dear, non-academically-credentialed, RCIA Team members.

I would rather be schooled in Catholicism by the first 50 people through the doors for 7:00 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. Daily Mass, than by the Catholic Theological Society of America.

you know sometimes I wonder if all the whiny libs secretly want to be Marines. Since any good Marine leader would say of his/her marines : IF THEY AIN'T B&TCHING! THEY AIN'T HAPPY!

I am an RCIA team member and in my third year I’m still learning stuff.

[Mrs. Don-o]

(Eyes darting left and right. Hand held conspiratorially to the side of my mouth)... I like patriarchy.

Seriously. I could say with equal truth:

I like Patriarchy... as reformed by the Gospel.

I like Feminism... as reformed by the Gospel.

[Mrs. Don-o]

It’s like she saying “Oh yeah, the transmission of life.... yawn.... so trivial...”

[Mrs. Don-o]

Yeah. Tell that to Catherine of Siena.

:o)

[Mrs. Don-o]

Da fungus among-us.

[Mrs. Don-o]

This is a credentialed, tenured academic woman whose professional opinion is that contemporary women are victims, but the holy martyrs of the first Three Centuries of the Church were not.

[Mrs. Don-o]

I love RCIA. I am amazed at what I am still learning (5th year.) I have such talented fellow teachers, and the vistas that have opened up to me are just vast. It’s like I just noticed I’m standing at the intersection of Incarnation and Infinity.

I have not done research, but the book cover on another post might be her doctoral dissertation. Which would suggest philosophy, history or religion.

Regardless, the dissertations that get published are those that will cause controversy and, therefore interest, to buy said book.

She’s a bone-head, no doubt about it.

[papertyger]

Even when ostensibly elevating women, Francis reveals a highly patriarchal view of where their value lies.

The author's work providing an object lesson as to "why."

Apparently she doesn't understand the Deposit of Faith was never supposed to be an interest bearing account.

I love being lectured to about the pope’s attitude toward women by someone named Candida Moss. Is she a fungal growth?

[Mrs. Don-o]

!!

What a privileged place God has given us. To bear children, be loved and cherished!

Dittos from this woman who loves her wonderful husband, the head of our household.

[Bigg Red]

Snort!

Heck! I’ll shout it:
PATRIARCHY IS GREAT! IT NEEDS TO RETURN.

I will say that the passage about women obeying their husbands is often misinterpreted. Women are to obey their husbands, no question. But the last half of the verse is usually left out. Men are to love their wives as Christ loves the Church - and to lay down their life for their wives. What a privileged place God has given us. To bear children, be loved and cherished!

Amen
A Catholic husband knows what his job is: to help his wife and children get to heaven.

That’s his Prime Directive: He needs to do whatever needs to be done to help his wife and children be holy.

Why? Because he loves them, and he wants eternal life for them and himself.
