and your sons and your *DAUGHTERS* shall prophesy

You don't have to be a priest to help spread God's word.

Yep. I’m not Catholic or celibate, and I eat meat on Friday, but if they can have women priests, I figure what the heck, I can give it a shot.

My guess is they are lesbians.

“As Hudson and McGrath welcomed hugs and congratulations in their new white vestments, Andrew Wolf, 34, of south St. Louis County, made his way to Hudson. He said that as a homosexual, he fell away from Catholicism when he was 17. He recently wanted to return but wasn’t sure how — until Sunday.”

My Church is the Assemblies of God, and we do ordain women as Ministers. But the Catholic Church does not ordain women as Ministers, and I respect their right to have their own rules and beliefs of Ordination.

There is nothing “disputed” about this, the Catholic Church does not allow for women to be Ordained as Priests in their Church. These women are not Catholic Priests and the Rabbi that allowed this fake ceremony to go foward did so as a slap in the face to the Catholic Church.

Exactly. I don’t go to church except for weddings and funerals, so I’m probably not really in a position to be overly critical, but this PC BS isn’t going to make it very likely I’ll be going anytime soon. It’s not just the Catholics either. The whole institution of religion is being taken over by this crap.

What vehicle then would man use to ordain a female to spread God's word? To prophesy one would have to at the very least be learned in God's word. I can't find it Written that *man* will have much to say about who God elects to use male or female.

"Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that *I* will pour out My spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your *DAUGHTERS* shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in *THOSE DAYS* will I pour out My spirit.

Neither refers to the priesthood. There have been quite a few female prophets in the Catholic Church. And the Holy Spirit is poured out upon all that are baptized.

Next thing, the Pope will be presiding over a bris.

By the way, liberals, a bunch that's always howling about "gender", won't use the grammatically correct term priestess.

I was raised as a Catholic but the church of the 40’s and 50’s was not the same as that of today. Due to a previous marriage I am no longer a particpant in the church,

But the papers print this stuff because it stirs up controversy and upsets decent people.

And that's what sells newspapers. Well, they no more "news" papers than porn movies are art.

Personally I have never met an ordained preacher/priest who is a female. I did attend a Lutheran wedding once that was performed by a woman. I do not know what her title was/is, all I remember she liked to talk and talk a lot.

Like I said I do not know anything about this event and will have to take others word the purpose was to take a slap at Catholics.

There are places in the Church for women’s ministry. But the Roman Catholic Church does not condone ordaining women to the priesthood, and if a person is CATHOLIC, then they follow the canons. If they break those rules, they may be something, but they aren’t CATHOLIC anymore.

I am an Orthodox Christian, and we are in perfect agreement with our sister Church regarding this issue.

I think you and I are talking two different kinds of priesthood one ordained of man and the other ordained by God. By the way Joel speaks to what is yet still to come as NOTED by Peter in Acts 2:17 on Pentecost Day. This event is said to take place *in the last days* and what took place was the words out of the mouth was understood by all in their own native language, no interrupter was required it was literally the voice of the Holy Spirit. Has NOT happened yet.

I am not trying to change your or the Catholic doctrine, I put forth a question as to how a specific scripture is suppose to be understood. Everything I read from Genesis to Revelation when God says something it happens according to His will, and from the beginning man has never overturned His will.

They’ve all become Episcopalians.

" 'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams."

"This event is said to take place *in the last days* and what took place was the words out of the mouth was understood by all in their own native language, no interrupter was required it was literally the voice of the Holy Spirit. Has NOT happened yet."

Sorry, but there's nothing in either verse about it being "understood by all in their own native language".

OTOH---I've got several folks in my ROMAN CATHOLIC Bible study class who have had incidents of both speaking in and interpreting "tongues". And the Church has many instances of women saints being prophetesses.
