[OLD REGGIE]

1. Are you aware of scriptural prohibitions toward women and/or practicing homosexuals in the clergy?

The one the Protestants usually use is the "A woman shall not have authority over a man," statement. The Catholic Church has not used this argument to my knowledge, but points out why a woman would be incapable of consecrating the Eucharist.

2. If a practicing homosexual was validly ordained and, over the course of time, ordained others, who also ordained others; would any or the ordinations be valid.

Yes, all of them.

It appears SothingDave and you have a vastly different take on this.

Do you, or the RCC, believe A woman shall not have authority over a man," actually means a woman would be incapable of consecrating the Eucharist?

I don't think so. I just used a heck of a lot more words to say basically the same thing.

No, and allend didn't say that either. I fact he said the Church does not use this Scripture. The argument is not from a "line" of Scripture, but rather from the entire idea of Jesus selecting His apostles from the male side of the aisle. We just follow His example. Surely if the Lord wanted to have female apostles He would have.
