That's what I got from this post. <br /><br />And even though he's not in the RCC "camp," he still can talk about current events just like we all do. I'm not a Democrat, but I sometimes talk about them. ;)Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115294023069458287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313594.post-82400544534440554272010-07-17T18:39:58.016-07:002010-07-17T18:39:58.016-07:00Cubicalgirl, I am sure that the church was much th...Cubicalgirl, I am sure that the church was much the better for their absence.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945901944078164054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313594.post-36917677235879577192010-07-17T18:37:26.485-07:002010-07-17T18:37:26.485-07:00It's not just the Catholics.

When the Methodist church I went to growing up got their first female minister, several people in the congregation said they would not come to church until there was a man in the pulpit. They kept that promise and stayed away for over 10 years, through the tenure of two female ministers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313594.post-6950302348179290932010-07-17T07:15:38.313-07:002010-07-17T07:15:38.313-07:00Interesting piece, Roland. But something puzzles ...Interesting piece, Roland. But something puzzles me. And, this is a sincere question.<br /><br />You wrote: "The problem with the Vatican’s statement isn’t so much that they’re still against female priests – I know plenty of people who take that position, even if I totally disagree with it."<br /><br />As a Protestant, why would you either agree, or disagree with ANY internal priesthood policies by the Roman Catholics?<br /><br />And, I'm not asking this to be a smart ass. Really, I'm not. My take on things like this is, "If I'm not one of them, it's not my business." For instance, I am not an Anglican. So, when the Anglican Church decides to ordain gay priests, who am I to criticize them?<br /><br />I'm not a Southern Baptist, so when they have their annual fight over ordaining women as Pastors, who am I to either agree, or disagree with their final decision?<br /><br />It's their club. They can have their own rules, and if people are willing to play along, it's no skin off my nose.<br /><br />Regardless, I understand the thrust of your post. Equating the two things is ridiculous.<br /><br />BTW, women Pastors have helped me a lot, too.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945901944078164054noreply@blogger.com
