Reply #40: Well - in regards to women - I'll approach it from my family's experience [View All]

Being a person with a strong devotion to the Virgin Mary I have the highest esteem for women. This is something that people will run up against forever because the Church will never have women Priests. The reason for this is that Priests are an Alternate Christ. They represent Christ in our liturgy. In the Catholic teachings Christ was male by natural law thus the Priest must be male. Since Vatican II women can do everything but be a Priest or Deacon. They can be Eucharistic ministers. That might not sound like much but it's huge.

In t he secular world women can do anything men can (usually better) but in the world of the Church there is a separation. It has nothing to do with"better" it's just different. Only a woman can be a physical mother and only a man can be a physical father.

But the Church teaches thatthe only perfect human being God ever created was a woman. Women were the ones at the foot of the cross. Jesus spent most of his time with women according to scripture. Jesus was a feminist - did he not stop the adultress from being stoned?
