Former President Carter Blasts Catholic Teaching on Women’s Ordination
Catholic Culture ^ | 3/26/14

Posted on 03/26/2014 6:00:24 AM PDT by marshmallow

In an interview with National Public Radio, former President Jimmy Carter said that Catholic teaching on women’s ordination has led to the abuse of women throughout the world.

“The fact that the Catholic Church, for instance, prohibits women from serving as priests or even deacons gives a kind of a permission to male people all over the world, that well, if God thinks that women are inferior, I’ll treat them as inferiors,” said Carter. “If she’s my wife, I can abuse her with impunity, or if I'm an employer, I can pay my female employees less salary.”

They have pretty much won on homosexual marriage, and are now going for women's ordination.

They know that will lead to abortion support.

Let me know when he “blasts” Islam for their treatment of women, like, stoning or marrying 9 year old girls. Or its that the Catholic Churches fault too.

Oh wait. That would take courage.

This flippin' idiot has had his 15 minutes.

Why would anyone in this day and age give a rat's patootie what he has to say about anything?

The only thing he's good for is comparison to obama as to which was the worst president.

Yeah Jimmah, that is precisely what Paul was thinking when he wrote his epistle to the Corinthians.

Carter in his dotage can no longer hide his anti Catholic bigotry.

Yeah Jimma’ - let’s change 2000 years of precedent because you say so. How many of the 12 apostles were women? I am sure you will be telling us next how many were gay?

It is not 2000 years of tradition but the Word as inspired by the Holy Spirit that requires Pastors, Deacons, and Teachers to be at the miminum:

A MAN of one wife not divorced
Beyond reproach
Not given to strong drink
...........
“This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.” (1 Timothy 3:1).

From homeowner associations to common core, to EPA, to judges and politicians, every liberals thinks they should tell us how to live. They can't get there life together, so they want to screw up every organization (Boy & girl Scouts) church, family,....and tell us they know better than God. These people don't have a humble bone in their body. They are know it alls, arrogant, controlling marxist. They want us to be as miserable as they are. God help us!
