Women's Ordination

[quote name='Brother Adam' date='Apr 5 2005, 07:19 PM'] Woman's ordination is a insult to genuine femininity. If I was a woman and someone suggested womans ordination I'd be mad as hell. [/quote]

You are right, Cam, it is not up for debate. But it is a topic that needs good catechesis. So, we need to give good reasons WHY the topic is closed. And this topic is connected to many other contentious topics like same-sex marriage, etc.

fundamentally, women cannot become priests. the Holy Father has reiterated what the church has perennially taught -- it is not w/in the power of Holy Mother Church to confer misterial priesthood upon women. Christ did not ordain the Blessed Mother, much less other women.

The Little Flower wanted to be a priest, but it was becaues of her love for the Eucharist that she wanted tobe close to Him, but I think she didn't understand the idea of being closer to Him in the Blessed Sacrament doesn't make you any closer than someone 10 feet away from you, because we all get up to receive Communion in the end.



Anyways... yes, one female saint wanted to be a priest, and she didn't follow up on it. It was more love for the Eucharist coupled with a misunderstanding than a radical female rights pro-modernist mentality that was driving her...



Just a list of why women can't be ordained :

-The Church cannot do it.

-It invalidates Apistolic lineage, which was the reason for the the Anglican church going into a state of heresay, instead of remaining in schism.

-Jesus did not ordain a single woman, even though there were 3 very good candidates if that was his intention.

-To work [i]In persona Christi[/i] would require yout be male.

-Having women priests gives no benefits to anyone, and is a sign of moral decay (EX. Any church comming from the Anglican line).


God bless,

Actually -- I was watching FOX or CNN, one of the two, and a women reporter was interviewing a priest about women in the Church and he cleared it up very well!
It was like Catholicism 101 and she seemed very impressed with his explaination of the women in the Priesthood [i]and[/i] priestly celebacy! Yayy for the priest who defended the Church and he was apart of the Legionaries of Christ too!!
