Storyline:
An up-and-coming attorney takes on a case to sue the Catholic Church for discrimination against a young woman who desperately wants to become a priest. In a world where gender equality is a critical issue, the Church remains steeped in tradition. As the trial unfolds and divine authority is challenged, their lives become in danger as extremists plot to stop the heresy at any cost.
Reviews:
"They managed to take a ludicrous idea and make it work.
Created Equal has a plot that simply could not happen. A nun wishes to go to a Catholic seminary in order, ultimately, to become a priest. However, the Catholic Church and the popes have been adamant....men, alone, can become priests. So, the woman approaches a law firm in order to sue the Church into accepting her to the seminary because she is being discriminated against by not being allowed in the program. While I could see someone wanting to sue for this right, finding a law firm or a court willing to try tackling the issue in the United States is problematic, as this clearly violates the notion of religious freedom. Lawmakers and judges simply do not nor could they create religious doctrine. However, the filmmakers who made Created Equal have also managed, somehow, to make the story interesting and compelling.
Sister Batista (Edy Ganem) is an unhappy nun. She is feeling unfulfilled in this role and feels that God has called her to be the first Catholic female priest. This seemingly unwinnable case is given to a hot-shot lawyer known for always setting cases without taking them to court. Tom Reilly (Aaron Tveit) plans on convincing the Sister to drop the case or accept a cash settlement. After all, he seems like a cynical guy who is much more interested in making partner at the law firm than actually doing anything else. However, something unusual happens...over time, Sister Batista wins him over and convinces him that they might just be able to win the case. Up against them is a lawyer and priest (Lou Diamond Phillips) as well as a psycho intent on stopping her at any price.
The acting and direction in this film was pretty good...and that made a seemingly ludicrous story actually work. I also liked the local color given to the story by filming it around New Orleans. My only quibble, other than the basic idea, is the big confrontation scene with the would-be killer...it didn't quite work for me. But solid acting, tension and uniqueness make this an entertaining flick."

I remember growing up Catholic... wanting to serve God but not wanting to be a Nun and couldn't be a Priest... But Praise God..I became a Born Again Christian and am serving the Lord with my whole heart now for 44 years!!! It is so Amazing!!!

[@maryannstypa4859]

If you read the Early Church Fathers and “Rome Sweet Home” perhaps you’ll go back to the church Jesus started and gave the keys to Saint Peter. You were born again when you were baptized. If Jesus wanted women priests , His beloved Blessed Mother would have been the first. Praying for you. Come Hoy Spirit

[@melissahawkins5120]

I was also raised catholic and am born again. When I went to Calvary Chapel in the 70s it caused problems with my parents. So I continued to go with them to Church and go to Calvary. It was hard on them for me to tell them things I learned that went against their faith. I am still going to a Calvary Church. Praise God he is so good.

[@Poeina]

that doesn’t make sense because every Catholic who is baptized is prophet priest and king so you are a priest even though now you are in schism with Holy Mother Church. I hope you come home. Jesus wants us to be one body one people.

And that’s why there are 40,000 registers religions- everyone interprets their way. Catholics haven’t changed what Jesus gave us in over 2,000 years. Please read the EARLY CHURCH FATHERS. Jesus left Peter in charge and the gates of hell will NOT prevail against it.

[@ABBX3]

@@maryannstypa4859 So tell me what is Catholic? If it's so important you should explain it for us.

[@maryannstypa4859]

@@ABBX3 Hello, catholic means universal- Jesus Christ started the Catholic Church and if you are truly interested , read the EARLY CHURCH FATHERS’ Ireneus, Polycarp, Justin Martyr who lived nit too long after Christ. Jesus appointed Peter head of HIS church- “ thou art Peter and upon this rock I shall build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” There is a direct line of successors ( Popes) all the way to the present one. We’ve had good Popes, bad ones, bad and good priests etc but we have stood as the catholic faith for over 2000 years. If you really , sincerely want to know the true church, you need to ask the Holy Spirit and He will lead you to the truth. Happy journey. I’ve studied my faith fir 70’of my 76 years. Many are returning to it and many are finding it- Praise God. I recommend “Rome , Sweet Home” by Scott Hahn and “Why be catholic? “ by Trent Horn. God bless you on your journey.

[@Unicysis]

⁠@@maryannstypa4859Wrong. The Catholic Church misinterpreted that verse ENTIRELY. Jesus was using a figurative statement to describe the foundation of HIS church. He didn’t literally hand over the keys to Simon Peter and tell him, “Here you go, mate, you can handle the Church and I’ll just be in the corner with a lager top.” He said, “Upon this rock I will build MY church……” marking the start of the Christian faith under Him. The rest kicked off from there. The Catholic Church wasn’t founded until Emperor Constantine came along 300 years later and established it by merging Roman values. That’s probably where the idol worship came in, and lots of other denominations were uprooted, the divisions which Jesus prophesied in Matthew 6. Even if you advised us to look at the ministries of the early church fathers you’d still need to take a trip back 2,000 years and carry out a survey. They’d all tell you different. If Christ wanted a Pope to sit on a chair, He’d probably change the covenant to include a Roman numeral or something, but He didn’t. None of the church fathers He appointed were golden-top Popes - they were only appointed DISCIPLES or PREACHERS. Only papal offices tied to the mafia do that. Side note: God’s Word doesn’t support purgatory and prayers for the dead as much as Calvinists support perseverance of the saints in their TULIP system.

Mother Teresa made Hindus better Muslims she did not obey or preach Torah. She will not be the Kingdom she served the Harlot "church" of Rome.

Mat 5:18 For truly, I say to you, until shamayim (pw heaven) and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law [TORAH]until all is accomplished. Mat 5:19 Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven), but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of shamayim. Mat 5:20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven).

Jesus had very many women with Him while He was doing His ministry and even after He left there is an evidence of women as apostles. We have priscilla who together with Aquilla expounded to Apollos more on the new baptism apart from the baptism of John. Women were never meant to be left out in the ministry of Christ. Men were to lead but not to sideline women. We all have our roles to play in the body of Christ

All religions are wonky in one way or another and have parted ways from the truth of Christ and what Jesus gave to be truth; which is the truth of God; that Jesus is God and The Saviour. Even though there are religions that profess the true grace gospel of Jesus Christ for having salvation, yet at the same time on the other hand they add their own man-made doctrines, which really does so much damage to the listeners whom are in the religion and all man-made doctrines saves no one. Christ alone saves. Jesus is not about a religion, in fact He disapproves of man-made religions. The worst thing that anyone can do is to follow any religion and regardless of which religion, the truth is that all religions fall short of the glory of God. To know God, it simply takes faith in Him and by having faith in God, He does reveal Himself by His Spirit of Truth and His truth is freeing, for the heart to know God in truth; that He is Jesus and God and Holy Spirit; all in One and He is The only Saviour; The Alpha and Omega whom came down from Heaven and paid the sin debt in full which mankind owed for sin. There is only one way to Heaven and it is by the grace of Christ alone; His finished work by going on the cross/tree. Mankind receives no glory for mankind is as a filthy rag in the sight of God and apart from the grace of Christ being the covering mankind needs for entering Heaven, no person will enter Heaven by their own ways. All glory, honour and praise rightfully belongs to Jesus; The One and only God; The King of kings; The Great I AM; The Alpha and Omega. AMEN, forevermore. 🤍🕊️🤍

[@Mr2TIMOTHY4V2]

I know you are trying to differentiate from Catholicism and man-made religion which on its own is correct, however Christianity is watered down Catholicism and tied to the man of perdition (Pope). You need to find the narrow way which is truth (truth is the Torah). Yahushua preached Torah. 1) Yahuah alone is Eloheem. His Son is not "God" his son is begotten (Created) by the Father. Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my Eloheem (pw God), and your Eloheem (pw God). 2) "true grace gospel" the word gospel is a pagan Catholic weasel word. The good message or besorot todot does not replace the pure religion of Yahuah which is set apart from the ways of the world. Jas 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before Eloheem (pw God) and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. 3) Grace and Faith are two idols of Christianity which apostle Shaul smashes. A) Apostle Paul Smashes The Fides/Faith Idol: Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through moral conviction / emunah (pw Faith / Fides)? ELOHIM FORBID : yea, WE ESTABLISH THE LAW. ESTABLISH here does not mean abolish IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER. It means to STAND BY and ABIDE IN THE COVENANT of the law.: G2476 ἵστημι histēmi his'-tay-mee A prolonged form of a primary word στάω staō (of the same meaning, and used for it in certain tenses); to stand (transitively or intransitively), used in various applications (literally or figuratively): - abide, appoint, bring, continue, covenant, establish, hold up, lay, present, set (up), stanch, stand (by, forth, still, up). B) Apostle Paul Smashes The Charis/Grace Idol: Rom 6:15 What then? shall we transgress Torah (pw sin) , because we are not under the law [of sin and death] , but under kindness/ chesed (pw Grace/ Charis)? ELOHIM FORBID. Rom 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of TORAH TRANSGRESSION unto death [in the lake of fire], or of OBEDIENCE unto righteousness? "whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey" - this is a clear description of worship being eithertrue versus idolatrous CONCLUSION Apostle Shaul infers that YAHUAH almighty forbids (Rom 6:15 Rom 3:31)any idol or idolatrous thought such as Grace or Faith being able to replace his Torah commands. 1Co 10:14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. Remember that forbidding idol worship is a MAJOR TORAH COMMAND ITSELF and has not been done away with either else Apostle Shaul has no place smashing these idols and commanding you to flee from them. 4) Yahushua's work is not finished. We are Yahuah's workmanship and salvation and justification are only secured if we hold fast to the end as he perfects us by the washing of his WORD [TORAH] Gal_2:17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Mashiach / The Anointed One (pw Christ), we ourselves also are found sinners [TORAH TRANSGRESSORS, is therefore Mashiach (pw Chris the minister of sin [TORAH TRANSGRESSION? Eloheem forbid. 5) Doing the Righteousness of Eloheem is not filthy rags but righteous fruit which we are to bear otherwise we get cut down and thrown into the fire. "All our works are filthy rags" is taken out of context. Eze_18:26 When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity [TORAHLESSNESS] , and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die [second death] . AND FINALLY HEAR THE TRUTH FROM THE MASTER HIMSELF 6)Yahushua (falsely called Jesus/J-Zeus 400 years ago ) is the true Mashiach who preaches Torah obedience for entry into the promised kingdom. Mat 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law [TORAH] or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to FULLY PREACH (Greek: pleroo) them. Mat 5:18 For truly, I say to you, until shamayim (pw heaven) and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law [TORAH]until all is accomplished. Mat 5:19 Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven), but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of shamayim. Mat 5:20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven).

I was born a Catholic. Was baptized and had my first communion and confirmation. I left the Catholic religion when my 3 month old son passed away in his crib, and my uncle, who is a catechism teacher, said to me while i was standing at his casket, that he wouldn't make it through the gates of heaven because he wasn't baptized before he passed. 😢

[@tamikaromany912]

Don't believe what that priest said. First of all when you look up the word baptism, the Catholic Church don't baptize people, they sprinkle water of their foreheads. (Even the examples given in the Bible showed persons going under the water, to represent death of the sinful person and coming up of a new person in Christ). Secondly, someone has to desire to be baptized and choose to do so for themselves when they are at an age to reason. Keep reading the Bible, God will make things clear for you!!

The words from the Holy Bible concerning little children: "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these." [Matthew 19:14] These words offer us great hope concerning the salvation of little children who have died without being baptized. Furthermore, it also reveals the gentleness of God and His kind, loving, and merciful heart. Your little son is already in the Kingdom of Heaven. 😇 For this confirmation, don't trust my words but put your whole trust in the great mercy of God. Your uncle committed a serious sin by not informing you about the great mercy of God. As for you, you acted impulsively and left the Catholic Church. I speak here as a man whose whole life is committed to the honor of God. Rest assured and be at peace. Your little son is certainly in the kingdom of God.😇 And your little son will want you to reconcile with God and the Catholic Church, which HE HIMSELF established with Apostle St. Peter as its first Pope.

The good news is that Jesus is Lord God Almighty clothed in unsinful humanity and He is the author of *eternal life* to all who trust Him alone for salvation 💓. He paid for all the sins of all the world at the cross (past present and future). That payment is put to your account when you have believed on Christ alone for salvation. *This means that saving repentance is realizing that you are a sinner deserving of God's just punishment in Hell and turn (repent) from whatever you trusted in before, if indeed you trusted in anything; to trusting in the person and finished work of Christ alone for salvation.*

Am okay with what God wants, as a lady, because He is my creator, and chose to make me according to His wonderful, best purpose, can't be nothing less nor more. There are no example of women priests indeed, but there are Prophetesses like Hulda, Teachers like Priscilla , Deaconess like Phoebi, Judge etc, And also the Bible records that we are a royal priesthood, so I thought it better to just prayerfully follow God's calling for our lives, like I have heard of women like Catherine Kuhlman and Maria Woodworth Etter, and many other missionary women, who yielded to be God's servants.

I agree. Just because a woman is not the leader in a priestly fashion does not make her unequal. God has a line of leadership: God , the man, the woman, and the children. That does not mean one is less equal than the other. The world has equal rights all messed up. We are equally human beings with different roles. I am a woman and I can do things men can't do and weren't made to do. God made us special. Why would I want to give that up for a man's position. Was not impressed at all with this movie and her desire was not God's will because it was contrary to His Word.

[@pamelakline7738]

In the Bible, Book of Galatians, it is written that in Christ there is no male or female. The Bible also states that when a man and woman marry they become one in the Lord. In addition the Bible states that in Heaven there is no marriage of man to a woman, but that Jesus Himself will take Christians as His bride. Doesn't that mean, then, that both male and female will be married to Jesus? Since according to the Catholic Church women cannot be pastors, does the Church believe that men cannot be the Bride of Christ (men are not allowed to marry men) in their way of determining male and female differences? As a Christian we grow in our faith, in the understanding of what the Bible is teaching us. Is there a Christian among us who has never come to realize at some point that they had misunderstood something the Bible was saying? Just think for a moment how many things the Catholic Church itself has changed in their own beliefs or understandings. Let us continue to seek God in Spirit and in Truth. We should all want what God wants. Let us stay in prayer to continue to grow in the grace of the Lord.

There were soooooo many biblical references that could have been used in the arguments; and how women were in Christ's ministry on earth -- hardly "just a man" as was stated in the movie -- He is God in flesh! That was the only truly disappointing feature to me in watching this. And ONLY those called to NOT be married are not married (Matthew 19:10-12) (1 Corinthians 7:28). Not to mention thru women Christ was born. Woman at the well was the 1st witness of Samaritans town (1st group to accept Christ). Mary Magdala was the 1st to seen the Risen Christ and called her BY NAME.(Matthew 28). It's just still a misogynistic world; but women are called "helper" as is the Holy Spirit (Genesis 2"18).(John 14:16-21).

It doesn’t mean women are immigrants barred from coming to church altogether.

[@TheaGreenfield]

This Movie interested me mainly due to the Fact it took place in Louisiana, yet the Courts arguments disturbed me over Male vs. Female. She displayed a more consistent Christian desire than her Male counterparts, there was an arrogance about them that made me almost feel ill; Priest displaying things like Smoking and Drinking allowed me to Believe they had NOT overcome the worldly nature and were unwilling to allow God through the Holy Spirt to Rid their Lives of such things. I believe a good scripture to have used would have been Galatians 3:23 thru 29, Before the coming of this Faith we were held in custody under the Law, locked up until the Faith that was to come would be revealed. So the Law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. Now that this Faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian. So in Christ Jesus you are all Children of God through Faith, for all of you who were Baptized into Christ have Clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither Slave nor Free, nor is there Male nor Female, for you are All one in Christ Jesus, If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's Seed, and Heirs according to the Promise. I Conclude God the Lord Jesus Christ doesn't identify with any One Segment of the Church but now LOOKS into the Hearts, Minds, Souls of everyone on EARTH, so by all means Women should be allowed to be Priest along with Men of this Earth; her Love for God shinned through, Her Love for all Mankind was more inline with how Christ would have transformed us to be more like Him.

Jesus had as many women as men in his apostle team, but Man wanted control and removed most reference to these women’s writings and words about Jesus. The truth about this is coming out as we are to seek first the truth in All Things, yet man rules his corrupt world without women. That Priest of The Catholic Church, is wrong, the Men took control of The Word, and manipulated facts. Like it was a fact that Jesus had as many women as men as his Apostles. The Church Vatican hides books in their archives to this day, where women’s works were mostly deleted and woman was portrayed as the lesser than equal to men. Jesus created woman to walk alongside of their men, to encompass them, as to The Truth. This means that my Father was right, that a married man should lead the church, because man fails to face truth at all, and that’s why they needed to erase women and important facts about Christ’s life through man, from the Truth and why there is so much mystery in Christ’s Life, yet the truth is coming out to this day. In These End Times, it is there, but The World is still being controlled by Man.

I dont believe women should become priests as our duty is to be prayer warriors and help the children, the elderly and orphans which tithe should be used for these as in psalms 78.. psalms 118:8-9 says trust no man and trust no prince )as ruler or governments) the lesson here is that religion, many religions defile our creator and his son.. its a faith we should hold in our heart and our choices should reflect Christs character.. these men in these churches remind me of the Pharisees and saducees that yeshua was angry with for doing business in his fathers church. just because man decided whats right and wrong ( the pope) doesn't make it gospel.. and yes I was a white witch but now have the heart for my saviour..

Don’t forget that men are told to love their wives like Christ loves the church, sacrificing himself for her. This is not a matter of discrimination, but a matter of God’s created order. Men and women are created equal, but have different roles in life and in the church. These roles reflect God ‘s commands, not man’s preference. It’s not based on Christ not choosing women as Apostles, but based on God’s order.

Just because one hears a calling and prays a lot about it does not mean it is of God. The enemies of Christ are always listening and calling us away in small and large ways. These enemies are the fleshy desires to act in contrary to scripture tradition and Magesterium suiting our own wants pleasing self to please others; the world and its laws suiting the individual wants over God's order of creation and divine law to serve Him above all man; and the devil constantly twisting truth to lead us to ways of defiance and believing we deserve whatever we want because we are good by our pov. Mans law, when lacking the virtue of religion, lacks a piece of Christ as God is the fullness of all virtue.
