It happens nedsk. Always will. But for the majority it's not an issue. What I have found is that an older age some feel needy and wish they had a family... but it doesn't seem to be a problem and anyway it's such a personal feeling I doubt they discuss everything about this. Also, I want to...

I don't see celibacy as an issue. I know some priests personally....they don't have an issue with this. They knew before becoming priests that celibacy was a requirement and they agreed to it. And this happened, in the CC, only in about the year 1200, if I remember correctly (or close to that...

Could you read my post no. 271 and tell me what you think of it? We rely of the Holy Spirit to help us to do good works. BUT Is it US doing the good work or is it the Holy Spirit?? There's a difference between the Holy Spirit helping us to do good works and the Holy Spirit doing the good...

And many more will be losing their jobs... in the millions.

We don't even contribute our faith in Christ? Doesn't Eph 2:8 state that we are saved by our faith? Ephesians 2:8 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; Also, let me clarify that, yes, we contribute NOTHING to our initial salvation...

Thanks GP But there's no language barrier between me and @soberxp . We seem to understand each other very well.

@Grailhunter @nedsk Very nice convo. Back to painting my laundry room.

:eek: OK. We finally disagree about something !!

LOL Well stop loving it and give me an answer! But I think we've derailed this thread enough..... :backtop:

OK. In society. And in churches? Should a woman be a priest? I think this thread has been derailed....

OK. Agreed. But they don't. The question becomes: In the church setting, is this good or bad? Plus, I think we're off topic.

I feel like we're getting into philosophy.... but I looked up equal: See the difference between B1 and B2 Would you say that women in the church setting would be explained better by B2? equal adjective us /ˈiː.kwəl/ uk /ˈiː.kwəl/ equal adjective (SAME) Add to word list B1 the same in...

What do you mean by "treated better"? Do you mean that in some denominations women get MISTREATED?

OK. Equal means having the same opportunities. So what about the fact that churches do not allow women Deacons or Priests? (some churches). Do you agree with this?

Well, now everyone is divorcing everybody. What a mess. How about a marriage dissolving after 25 years because the husband found a girlfriend? At least he has to pay her a monthly alimony and MAYBE she'll get half of the house but she'll still have to move (unless she pays him a hefty 1/2 for...

What does it mean? You didn't agree with the definition I gave?

I agree with you. The problem in Rome is that they don't know for sure how to attack this problem. Now they're trying new ideas because they feel catechism has to change for the new generation. I disagree. The CEI (Catechism Episcople Italian) wants to try to put more fun and games into...

This is true of some biblical topics.... which is why it's great that Christian theologians have worked out some of this. On planes persons are referred to as souls. I don't really know why. (when there's a problem, the pilot is asked how many SOULS are on board). Right. The OT didn't really...

Oh. Well Moses made it a little easier for women by allowing divorce only with a certificate. It used to be that a man could just walk out on his wife. This is all I could think of right now. I'm painting my laundry room at the same time as posting. So how we should treat women now..... Of...

Yes. I meant as a priest. See. We agree! Women should not be priests and, in fact, the CC does not allow women priests. How can women in the church be equal if they aren't offered the same opportunities? They're equal in personhood and how they're treated...they are NOT treated as second...
