Thread: Female Pope? Bishop? Cardinal? Priest? [W:235]

Would you support such a thing, or not?

Specifically, why not?

Why does the Catholic Church not allow a female to be Pope? Or any of the other major positions of power?

Do you think it's possible you'll see this archaic practice changed within your lifetime?

Would you want it changed?

I would have to care to want it changed. I also care about people playing psychological class warfare pitting sole results against each other so as to create an artificial reality where they can proclaim themselves humanity's salvation of collective bargaining rights to character matters metaphorically in a metaphysical science sort of way.

Gig is up and imploding faster than it can organize again. But keep trying to use spiritual energy of thought to undermine the competition of ruling humanity's souls next generation to this moment forever here and always now balancing everything taking place as usual.

I wouldn't care, of course, I'm not a Catholic and don't really care either way.

So you don't care about senseless gender bias? That's odd. Do you have a daughter, a wife, a mother?

Why should a human being be prohibited from achieving something like a religious leadership position simply because they don't have male reproductive parts?

No one is forcing them to be a member of the Catholic Church, in fact if a woman wants to have a position of leadership in a religious sense, there are numerous sects of the Christian faith that allows such things.

I'm fully aware of that, however, the catholic church is very specific in their restrictions.

I don't understand it, and I really don't understand why modern, western humans not only put up with it, but they also support it.

It is within that social structure to do as they want it to be. Now I just gave those willing to change it the means to changing it by understanding what their faith failed to educate it's character roles. The rest is up to those playing the character roles of societal evolution living within genetic migration always taking place within this compounding moment of instantly added changes of details never duplicated as before or since.

I am only one male human like each of them being a sole result of their own specific ancestry. It isn't my place to order up and direct a reality that denies the real moment so my ideology can rule over theirs and they pay me tribute for allowing them to continue thinking they are inferior to my superior thought process when it is the same instincts among each.

Understand is just so much more powerful that self delusion sold as a social identitiy in reality of protecting humanity's greater good intentions.

After all the metaphor of Hell is the road paved.......getting there as now is etenrity's results added so far.

What is Hell but the repeat of the same mistakes over and over each generation between inception to the food chain and extinction from it here now.

Segregating east against west, that would fall under left vs right, which can translate liberal vs conservative that goes back to democrats vs republicans that reverts back to sinners and saints.

Oh the web humans weave ..... for the greater good of their projected realities.

Not gonna happen any time soon. No institution on the planet is more set in its ways than the Catholic Church.

I'm not saying that it wouldn't be a good thing, but they are just way too set in their ways. I wonder how many people are leaving that church annually. I've known a lot of former Catholics. Most that I've known seem to remain christians, but one became a Lutheran, one became a Pentecostal, one a Quaker.

Western "culture" is breaking out of the concept/ideology that females are merely a possession.
If females can run countries and industries why can't they hold a position of power within a religious society?

I wouldn't expect those brought up in a non-western culture to react as strongly to gender oppression.

The only tangle is the one you've designed yourself.
