The simple message of Love thy neighbor as I have Loved you, "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" cant even be understood by a devout Catholic such as your self. I would support women in the Priesthood, like the Episcopal church. They are called Priests NOT Priestesses. I know many Catholic Sisters who have gone thru ALL of the education that Priests are required and even instruct young seminary students, and they are denied this Gift of service. This would be one way of solving the "Homosexual Problem that is destroying the church" according to Gary. I think Gay Priests can serve with the same passion and commitment. Perhaps the Priesthood needs to die out before we will get serious about Positive changes that honor all people of the faith for the Gifts God has given them to share with HIS church. Change is here like it or not. |
