Where did I lie about the church?
Did I say you lied? I said you "misrepresented." To lie means assumes that you are being purposeful false, rather than simply poorly informed and formulating your statements based on ignorance.
Oh--that is unless you are intentionally doing it and you saw yourself in my statement about "bitchy lies."
The Catholic faith has a history of discrimination against women. Mary holds unique status within the faith only because she supposedly had a virgin birth. Makes her less slutty and sinful than the rest of us wenches.
See--that's ignorance. There's plenty Biblically that show her virginity prefigured in the OT--but since I'm pretty certain you're not interested in rational theological discussion, and would rather continue with the Catholic bashing, I'll save the effort.
The Catholic Church, last year, excommunicated all women priests. Now, they could have just come out and said, "There's no such thing as a woman priest...." but they had to excommunicate them.
There are also solid theological reasons for the male only priesthood, and to obstinately deny tenets of the faith and to further actively flout it is grounds for excommunication.
Meanwhile pedophiles run wild in the church and you never see a guy in a robe and hat on tv saying boo about it.
Bull****. The Church has accepted her failings and apologized profusely and made extensive strides in addressing never letting it happen again. In fact, in order for me to even be able to supervise a youth center at my local parish, I had to go through something called Veritas training.
USCCB - (OCYP) - Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People This is one of the ways the Church has addressed the issue.
The Pope himself has REPEATEDLY expressed regret and sorrow and disgust over that chapter in time.

To say no robed/hatted man has said boo is an utter LIE because unless you have lived under a rock and plugged your ears to it, the Church has done penance for it and continues to do so.
I guess a woman not knowing her place in life is far more grievous than a guy sticking his shlong where it doesn't belong. Meanwhile, for consistency sake, divorce is allowed in exchange for $$$. In order to be consistently anti-divorce the men in funny hats accept money in exchange for a decree note that states a marriage never happened. :roll:
Get your parent's annulment and read it. It's not like that at all.
The other part is just you being offensive for the sake of being offensive.
The house of God is sliding down a hill of irrelevancy doomed to antiquity and I personally don't see them doing anything to slow the velocity of their inevitable demise.
Your opinion of the Church changes nothing. It has survived persecution in the past, it continues to do so.
