What's wrong with women Bishops?

[@Strive1974]

​@Brian Stevens it goes against teachings of the Catholic Faith that men are spiritual leaders of family and church. Jesus chose men to preach His word and they were ordained by the Holy Spirit on Pentacost. Early church fathers writing support this claim on the patriarchy. Women, by no means, are excluded, but can never be ordained

My grandfather left the Episcopal Church back in the seventies because of issues like this - he was an Episcopal priest but actually got defrocked. He became Catholic and was even ordained a Catholic priest though he was already married. He raised all his kids Catholic, and thus my mom was a cradle Catholic as am I.

[@Chrisema]

Is it possible to be ordained a catholic priest (Rev Father) after one had been married with children? I haven’t seen it happen in Catholic Church.

[@gunsgalore7571]

@@Chrisema Typically not, but there are exceptions. 1. Eastern Catholic Churches allow married men to become priests. However, Eastern Catholics make up only like 1 percent of Catholics and most of them live in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, so it's not all that relevant to Americans. 2. Priests in some Protestant churches that allow married men to become priests can convert to Catholicism and become Catholic priests. This was established by St. Pope John Paul II in 1980. This only includes certain denominations that have some semblance of the priesthood, such as Anglicans, Episcopalians, Lutherans, and maybe Methodists. (I don't quite remember.) A married Southern Baptist preacher, for instance, could not become a Catholic priest if he is married. This second exception is what my grandfather was. I should mention that not any married Protestant convert to Catholicism can become a priest. Only someone who was a priest in his Protestant denomination. He also has to already be married before becoming Catholic - an Anglican minister could not become a Catholic priest and then get married. He has to have already been married as an Anglican priest. He is allowed to continue having all normal marital relations, even continue having children (my mother was born two years after my grandfather's ordination to the Catholic priesthood), but if his wife dies, he cannot remarry. This whole thing is a very special case and it doesn't happen too often, but it does happen, and because of it there are over 100 married Catholic priests in America right now.

[@sarathomas8499]

@@Chrisema There can exceptions

[@neilmccall5311]

yeah but he needs to come back to the true church that Jeus set up. by denying the Pope you deny the authority that was given to that Office by Jesus Himself which in turn means that you deny His authority. protestants please come back. and to the catholics, or at least the Roman catholics, we must resist this movement to "normalize" with the protestants. at minimum we must stop allowing the layman to administer communion. only the priest has that authority for at his ordination his hands were consecrated with the holiest of holy oils the church produces in order to handle the Body of Christ. for the same reason we must stop taking communion in the hand and instead recieve it on the tongue like we did in years past. we also must give the tabernacle the highest seat in the church front and center. too many Roman churches tuck the tabernacle away in the corner while the priest is seated in the highest seat. how does that make sense? the tabernacle does, afterall, house Jesus himself. are we not lower that the King of Kings? such arrogance. lastly we need to bring back latin to the mass, as it is a divine language. the Maronite rite has retained all of this, why can't the Romans?

[@annefranciselizabeth3840]

Shall we apply "the Jesus Test" - by their fruit, you shall know them (Matthew 7:15-20)? The Apostolic Church had dispersed authority. James governed the Church, Peter provided leadership, while Paul wrote most of its dogma (James administered, Peter led, Paul taught). In today's apostate RCC, every authority is subsumed in an infallible Pope, with disastrous consequences. Let me start with consequences for society. Both the Orthodox and the Romanists believe in the Supremacy of Tradition. Consequently, they both rejected the Reformation, by which the true Church returned to the Supremacy of Scripture which Jesus and the Apostles believed. The direct result of their heresy was that all the monsters of power in Europe (Adolf Hitler, Frances Franco, Benito Mussolini, Tito, Lenin, Stalin, the Napoleons, King Leopold, all the Communist dictators, and even today's Vladimir Putin) have been produced EXCLUSIVELY by those two denominations. The nations and sub-nationalities that accepted the Reformation were totally spared of these monsters. No nation of the Reformation became a victim of any of those radically evil -isms (Communism, Leninism, Fascism, Authoritarianism, Totalitarianism). Nazism was the brain child of a would-be RC priest. No nation of the Reformation has had a Head of State or Head of Government judicially executed or toppled by force of arms or via an insurrection since 1800. What is the essential difference between Haiti (a basket case) and Jamaica (a thriving country). One is Romanist, the other mainly Anglican. What is the essential difference between South America (with so many "issues") and North America (with long-sustained stability and democracy). One is Romanist, the other largely anti-Romanist. Why was colonialism in Nigeria or Ghana so benign while in Congo or Namibia it was rapacious. The colonizers in Congo, etc. were Romanists, and the ones in Nigeria, etc. were Reformed (in fact, it was mainly because of relentless pressure from Britain that the Belgians were forced to reform their reign of terror in Congo). Why was there a movement for the abolition of slavery in the UK, but not in Italy. Same reason you have an intractable mafia problem in most RC- majority countries (including Italy) but not in the nations of the Reformation. The ill effects of Romanism are so profound that TODAY while all the nations of the Reformation retain the Cross of Christ on their flags, not a single RC-majority nation does so. Have you heard the common joke in Italy that only Italians could have taken Christianity and turned it into the Roman Catholic Church? Even the Italians have enough self-awareness to understand the distance between Apostolic Christianity and Romanism. The license to (mis)interpret Scripture and the wild liturgical innovations of Rome were by-products of the Italian character (i.e., highly romantic, imaginative, and licentious). Good for art and architecture, but disastrous for a historical faith like Christianity which is founded on truth. PS: Sola Scriptura does not mean that the Bible contains every truth nor that there is no truth outside the Bible. That is a popular Roman Catholic caricature of that fundamental doctrine. Sola Scriptura means that nothing can be taught as doctrine (i.e., saving truth) unless it is based on the Bible. Sola Scriptura is common sense. It is like saying that every law in a nation must agree with its Constitution. If saving truth can be found outside the Bible, then the Primitive Church (the Church nearest to Jesus) was not fully saved. By the Reformation, it is anathema to add any saving truth to Scripture, which is what the Roman Church keeps doing.

It is incredible to be called racis on the basis of accusation and not proof.

[@DavidHeffron78]

Just to point out - JK Rowling hasn't been "taken down" - she's been criticised. Her books are still in the shops, the films based on her works are still available to watch. She's had 6 new novels published in the last 10 years, all big sellers and turned into a successful TV series. She's unbelievably rich. If that's "taken down" then take me down.

[@matthewmoulton1]

Yes and no. She has been targeted by the left and they have tried to launch boycotts on several attempts. Many actors in the films have publicly denounced her. I agree what he said. Of course, she is still very successful and the boycotts have failed. You are right about that. However, she is not rich and successful because of the canceling from the left. In the literal sense, her reputation and wealth has decreased (or been lowered / taken down) because of the criticism against her.

[@HagiaSophia1952]

As a seventy-one-year-old homosexual Christian (who has shared forty years with a gentle male atheist) I was "taken down" by the Church of England in the early 1970s, when I felt 'called' to ordination; but without any coalescing 'call' to celibacy. There are worse things than living 'outside' of a denominational Church: and life has been very spiritual for me; thanks to my love of Philosophy, Christology and Theodicy: which all helped me in my Nursing career......especially in dealing with the death of young people (I was in Haematology; and Terminal Care). Friends and family who detest the 'scriptural literalist' form of Churchianity have been vastly kinder to us than Christians: and therein lies the problem for the Church Universal. When 'secular' society is kinder to human beings who refuse to acknowledge they are - intrinsically - "sinful", in one particular area (sex!), than are those 'religious' people who attend churches, then you just know the gospel of Jesus is being thoroughly trashed by its chief exponents.

"Lord, how they have increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me. Many are they who say of me, "There is no help for him in God". But You O'Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head. I cried out to the Lord with my voice And He heard me from His holy hill.". ( Ps3:1-4)

Protestantism is over. Stop the protest and come under true authority

[@Rikalonius]

To the leftist, whose steeped in Critical Thought, whether they know it is Marxist are not, everything is group dynamics and power imbalance. As Lindsey has said, they share our vocabulary, but not our dictionary. Logic does not permeate their dogma. You've been an inspiration to me as a Christian, Calvin, because your honesty, courageousness, and truthfulness are testaments to Christ who is in you. You are known by your fruit, sir. And so are our detractors.

Gosh, I love Robinson’s fervor.

[@PolymorphicPenguin]

It seems as Christians we have difficulty working together with people who have different beliefs than us. I certainly have difficulty respecting other people's beliefs when they're different than my own. I think this was a missed opportunity for the Bishop of London to support Rev. Robinson's ministry even though she disagrees with him on some issues.

but who wants to work with homophobics?

[@razielvingrimm]

I know he will never see this but God sometimes calls upon us to take a journey. The journey was not about the destination but unlocking something within us as we listened and followed the path.

[@brendaal-rifai8422]

Dear Calvin, Please keep the Faith. The Bible teaches, "Come ye out from among them Nd be ye separate for what fellowship has darkness with light. Stand fast in the faith, our forefathers were burned alive for it.

Calvin is awesome, love listening to him, he is faithful.

There is one church and it is not the church of England or Catholic Church of any other denomination , it is members of the body of Christ - congregations The structure of most churches are not according to the early church, Bishop, Elders , Deacons and members.

Thats right. Why dont our Church Leaders walk in Faith - not in sight! "But the natural man does not recieve the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them,because they are spiritually discerned." (1Cor2:14)

If you can believe that water can be turned into wine, or that wine can be turned into blood, you can believe that a man can be turned into a woman.

[@bruno-bnvm]

You think it's okey to mock my religion but you are wrong.

[@beatonthedonis]

@@bruno-bnvm Explain why it's possible to turn water into wine and wine into blood, but it's not possible to turn a man into a woman.

[@orthodoxmusicsavechannel]

@@beatonthedonis God can do anything if he so wants. That said God created all peoples, they are God’s clay and so he shapes them as he wants. Thing is others want to deform what he shaped his people to be and so they distort the creation. Would God create a man if he wanted to make a woman? No a man is created a man to be a man, not a Woman. Thus making it impossible not because it’s not possible to do, rather because it’s against God’s vision of what He made his people to be.

[@orthodoxmusicsavechannel]

@@beatonthedonis This concept is basic level to the point that it’s expected to be known. I do not know if you made your question to mock or out of truly not knowing but I recommend you study before saying your thoughts known. Sometimes a question is an insult even if not intended.

[@beatonthedonis]

@@orthodoxmusicsavechannel So you're saying God creates severely disabled babies and doctors who try to change God's perfect creations are actually deforming them. Got it.

There was a time when I thought I was called to be a priest ... thank God, I didn't try that in any church. I lost Jesus for awhile, but for some reason, he didn't lose me. I found that a quiet life was far better. Now, I am a widow and I find that the Taoists got it right .. Before enlightenment, haul water, chop wood.After Enlightenment, haul water, chop wood. Service can be many things and in many places. I want nothing to do with the churches, they make everything too complicated and get distracted with fads.
