Jimmy Carter: Failure Of Catholic Church To Ordain Women Is A Human Rights Abuse

Acts of the Apostasy ^ | 6/23/2013

In the women's prayer, they thank God that they were not born male.

This is the first time I'd heard there was a corresponding women's prayer.

The whole concept is to thank God for doing what He has done, because by our existence we reflect the wisdom of God. We are the way He made us so that we can carry out His plan for us.

Makes perfect sense to me.

as Pope Benedict pointed out, the Church does not have the authority to do so.

I'm pretty sure it was Pope John Paul II who made that ex cathedra declaration. By doing that, he declared the debate permanently ended. That ruling can never change.

Thank you.

Carter’s mother actually said ..”I shoulda stayed a Virgin”!!

Jimmy Carter. Baptist. Nuff Ced.

Jimmy Carter is a Baptist the way Nancy Pelosi is a Catholic, or Chuck Schumer is a Jew, or Harry Reid is a Mormon. It's a label and a libel.

A label to prevent the people from recognizing their true fascist selves and hatred for mankind, and a libel to their respective religions.

“The whole concept is to thank God for doing what He has done, because by our existence we reflect the wisdom of God. We are the way He made us so that we can carry out His plan for us.”

That’s interesting. Thank you for sharing that.

Thanks for the correction. I’m a new Catholic and sometimes get things wrong.

::Sigh:: Once again people, Theonomic positivism would prevent this issue from ever even coming up.

Before writing to your Bishop, I suggest you talk with him personally. If a tete-a-tete doesn't produce results, make another appt. and include your husband or another faithful pewsitter. Only after that would I go to the Bishop.

As per the Instruction Manual.

[A.A. Cunningham]

No apology necessary but the document is well worth reading.

[A.A. Cunningham]

Send your pastor a copy of Ordinatio Sacerdotalis and remind him of what it means to be in communion with the Church. CC the Bishop and the Congregation for the Clergy on all correspondence as well.

Thank you all for your information/suggestions. My husband, Tom, tried to speak with him one time but that didn't work out; he'll try again. This priest, however, has written similarly, and showed his support (via the bulletin) for an elected female cardinal. He also did nothing to discourage voting Obama, and in fact, came across as a supporter.

He's older and is planning on retiring in less than a year and the faithful at the parish think he's trying to "get everything out" that he believes while he can and that no one will stop him because he's soon leaving. It's discouraging as I mentioned because he's a very popular priest; I've been there before when there's standing room only for his Masses.

Jimmah Carter knows a lot about failure, but he is wrong, again.

Jimmy Carter is a Baptist the way Nancy Pelosi is a Catholic, or Chuck Schumer is a Jew, or Harry Reid is a Mormon. It's a label and a libel.

Not really, Harry Reid is a top notch Mormon, he is personally vetted and verified by the church as one of the most devout and devoted Mormons, and he is issued identification on an annual basis, proving his state of holiness so that he can enter the temples and participate fully in the secret ceremonies, he is an exceptional Mormon, Pelosi can meet personally with the Pope, and just received communion at the Vatican, she is doing fine as a Catholic and many Catholics must be in awe of her Vatican treatment and would love to be able to have such experiences.

Chuck Schumer worships at Congregation Beth Elohim, the largest and most active Reform congregation in Brooklyn. While the senator spends his week in Washington, he makes it his business to come home every Friday to spend the Jewish Sabbath -- which begins on Friday night -- with his family and attends his temple regularly. Jimmy Carter became something other than his original denomination, Southern Baptist which he publicly renounced and formally left, he went to another christian denomination which also has the word Baptist in it's name, in fact Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton formed their own church or non-Southern Baptist religious organization, New Baptist Covenant, so Carter is no longer even a member of his previous church, and I assume that he is a member in great standing of the religious group that he founded.

That doesn't surprise me. I tend to prefer the priests that aren't popular. They are usually the ones doing their job by teaching orthodoxy and telling parishioners what they don't "want" to hear.

[mlizzy]

Yes, I think you’re right! One woman recently told him (because he is so talkative/friendly), “Father, I think you missed your calling.” He was upset by it I believe as he wrote about it, but it does ring true.

some benighted soul might insist that (Y-chromosome to the contrary notwithstanding) he wants to be a "sister".

I can see that happening.

(nuns are a particular category of sisters) ...

I never knew that. Thanks.
