It is repellant. I'm female. <br /><br />When I was raised in the Episcopal Church we had an altar rail, received 'communion' from the hand of the minister, and there were no females in the area of the altar. Acolytes served and were male. <br /><br />The men in the Church today who are 'under' Vatican II I see as tied exactly as if in a regular secular job to financial security. It is a rare man: Fr. Vaughn Treco, Fr. Eduard Perrone, and others, who ends up outside the fold because of what they say or do. These men pole vault in their spiritual lives with calumnies, and losses of various kinds.Nandaranihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05797138906682964812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-65072506624706043922019-07-30T17:25:51.438-04:002019-07-30T17:25:51.438-04:00When I finally came to my senses and returned to t...When I finally came to my senses and returned to the Catholic Church after a more than a 30-year absence, I enthusiastically jumped in with both feet. I read at Mass, worked at the Parish doing all I could and then some, and showed up for and volunteered at almost every Parish event. After a few years of hyperdrive and overload, the first hammer fell as Parishes were consolidated and Priests were shuffled around in an attempt to deal with the increasingly evident Priest shortage. The second hammer fell soon thereafter when the latest abuse scandal came to light. Reeling in the wake of these disasters, it began to dawn on me that the best thing I could and should be “doing” for the Church was praying deeply and often and adoring Christ. So I gradually withdrew from all visible Church activity and applied my attention and energy to prayer and adoration. <br /><br />My opinion is that as long as women feel compelled to run the Church, there will be no need or place for men to step up and into the roles meant for them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-41942005388851971062019-07-30T15:46:38.622-04:002019-07-30T15:46:38.622-04:00Every time I hear about "more women involveme...Every time I hear about "more women involvement" and how great it would be for all, I recall this old joke:<br /><br />One day in the garden, Adam asked God for a companion. God said "I can give you a companion that will always stand by your side, support your decisions, and obey your commands. She will never undermine you or belittle you. <br /> However, I will have to take one of your hands, one of your feet, and one of your eyes."<br /><br />Adam asked "What can I get for a rib?"c mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-8668184017165393662019-07-27T14:37:14.141-04:002019-07-27T14:37:14.141-04:00Imagine Urban II asking his Parish Council full of...Imagine Urban II asking his Parish Council full of women on what he should do regarding the First CrusadeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-75340028916651326342019-07-27T09:57:38.960-04:002019-07-27T09:57:38.960-04:00Men and women tend to wield power/authority differ...Men and women tend to wield power/authority differently. What our pastors are afraid of is masculine authority, in others and in themselves. They refuse to judge or condemn the evils in the world because they wish to get along without a fuss. God ordained one group of men to speak His judgement against the world - Catholic priests - and they refuse to speak it. They are trying to escape the judgement of God the Father by fleeing to the arms of women. The women are being lured by their feminine desires to help and nurture into these masculine roles, apart from those who are just arrogant.

I agree more of that would be great for society. All I meant was I am not the kind of guy to insist that a woman *must* stay home, or that she can have no professional engagements outside the home.Bonifacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10672810254075072214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-8513009391355655482019-07-27T05:49:15.170-04:002019-07-27T05:49:15.170-04:00It wouldn't hurt to have more women in the kit...It wouldn't hurt to have more women in the kitchen in general. Home economics is a great skill to have but so underrated today. Women could revolutionise the church by taking a more active role in the home. What a beautiful world it would be. Someone keeping the home fires burning, practicing hospitality while the men run things and hopefully get the chance to fix this mess we are in.
