Did Jesus ordain any amputees as priests? Does that mean amputees shouldn’t be priests?

Stop grasping at straws. Do you believe in the Real Presence?

Inflippingcredible.

Are you comparing being a woman to being an amputee? Freud would jump up and down at that one.

This is really the fundamental error of feminism: it thinks femininity (and symmetrically, masculinity) are at best social constructs with no inherent connection to the whole person. At worst, they're things that degrade, rather than exalt, human persons.

That's Gnostic, not Christian. It's just a rehashing of an error that's millenia old.

And ironically, feminism makes far too little of femininity.

Understand this: "God created them, male and female he created them." Being a woman is not a disease, it is not the consequence of disease or injury like amputation, it is not the consequence of sin (the Tower of Babel) like ethnic or racial distinctions are ... no, being male or female is how God made us, and what God saw, and what God pronounced very good.

And when feminism looks at that and tries to turn women into men to "empower" them, it's really just belittling God and his creation. It's second-guessing him and pronouncing that it knows better than God.

The original author of that particular storyline was in the Genesis story as well.

Read the JP2's theology of the body. You need to deepen your understanding, because you're very far from the truth.

If the Church is the bride, how can a woman be Her spouse?
