They call it "prophetic voice" or "propehtic call". Or some other nonsense. <BR/><BR/>That's why they remain.

Wouldn't they find what they are looking for elsewhere? Why stay where you do not believe what the church teaches and put yourself through such anger and bitterness. It puzzles me.grampshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15458042134293544734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2312222472717527597.post-81002786428193374312008-05-31T13:10:00.000-04:002008-05-31T13:10:00.000-04:00Thanks, Teresa, I just voted and sent the link on ...Thanks, Teresa, I just voted and sent the link on to others...and some of those people will do a lot to get others to that link!

What a selective reading of the New Testament...Wow. What a selective reading of the New Testament! No mention of Mary, and no mention that neither Mary NOR Mary Magdalene were present at the Last Supper where the priesthood was instituted. <BR/><BR/>It's ALSO illogical to use the Jewish argument. <BR/><BR/>They don't have an understanding of the "deposit of faith" that we hold so dear, in that women have NEVER been ordained, and thus, in 2,000 years, and if Christ wanted to do so, he could have for in ALL of the pagan religions of the time priestesses were a dime a dozen! It would not have been bucking the trend to ordain women at that time...yet He chose not to do so. <BR/><BR/>And if they try to argue for a married priesthood, certainly the first were married, only because it was just beginning. Yet Paul clearly states it's better to remain unmarried for the "sake of the Kingdom." This was REVOLUTIONARY for women at the time! (I've written of this...somewhere). <BR/><BR/>And even those Eastern Catholic churches, and Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, Coptics, etc. that have a married priesthood, they take their bishops ONLY from the celibate priests, and they still hold that once ordained, they cannot marry! <BR/><BR/>Yeah, they didn't bring all that up but it's the other common complaint. <BR/><BR/>And it's not like it's new that women who decide to be "ordained" are now barred from the sacraments as of this week. That has ALWAYS been the teaching. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS. <BR/><BR/>It's logical; if you leave the Church and start your own religion, well, then you are no longer in communion and thus you can no longer access the Sacraments, unless you're renoncing the religion you've just made up. And then you can come back through Confession. <BR/><BR/>It's so profoundly simple. It really IS! <BR/><BR/>And I'd rather be a holy woman than a priest any day!
