Subject: WOMAN POPE??? That urges on heretical

ARE YOU KIDDING? A WOMAN Pope? It very, very clearly states in the Bible (3-5 different places) that women are and should be subordinate to their husbands and in the Church. Do you know where the two main places are where our Church gets it’s guidelines? First, it is from the Bible. Secondly, it is from Church tradition (including statements from past Popes, etc.). Why do you think there has never been even a woman Deacon? There has never been one because it declines BOTH places where teaching comes (the Bible and Church tradition). Maybe you should be a little more like Ignatius Loyola.
