I never said men are superior spiritually speaking to women. Look at our church attendance in America for instance. Who seems to be the backbone in the spiritual leadership of families across the nation? Men? Phht. Nonsense! It's sad to say, far too many men would rather watch sports on TV while the wife and kids go to church. Okay, I've made my point here. More than adequately. Now I'm done with this topic. You said, "If the situation is where no man is available, then I have no issue about it," suggesting to me you think men are superior to women when it comes to teaching.

I mean I wasn't an alter boy nor did I attend Catholic school. I only had to go for religious instruction classes several times a week when it was time for us to make our 1st communion and then again when it was conformation time. I walked away from the Catholic church 50 yrs ago. At that time I considered myself an atheist but I had become so disgusted with life I was seeking to find what else there might be. This was back in the 1970's when Christian tracts were all over the place. So I decided that maybe God was indeed real. But where could I find Him. So 1 Sunday I got up the courage to go to a Catholic Mass. Five yrs before this I thought I had felt God while in church for my father's funeral Mass, so it seemed like a good idea. But this time I felt nothing. It was like no one was there other than us humans. So my search went on. I must say that if it had been solely up to me I probably would have quit seeking and stayed a sinner. But supernatural things kept happening me, things I couldn't explain. Most of these things are what the Bible calls "the word of knowledge" but I didn't know about the spiritual gifts yet. Even so, it seemed as if someone was telling me certain things when that someone wanted me to know. I had no control over this, and believe me I tried to control it. So now, looking back, I say God wanted me and He was going to get me to be on His side because God never loses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know. Let me further clarify the matter. And we did discuss this in another thread, so let me paraphrase by memory from it. I'm really to exhausted right now to dredge something up from the archives. I feel that given the situation where a congregation has no man in rightful knowledge and authority in Christ, and a woman shows forth the obvious qualities, then by all means she should take the godly appointed placement. Sorry for the run on statement, it's written in haste, and I'm in much need for rest now. Hope this makes things very clear to you my personal convictions on the situation. God bless you.

Guest K9Buck Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 1 hour ago, AngelInTraining93 said: Pure Catholicism requires a person to commit idolatry regularly. The Rosary opens with "Hail Mary," they pray to "saints" and angels instead of God. That contradicts the commandment, "You shall not have any other Gods before me," as well as Matthew 11 and Luke 6, in which Jesus commands we pray only to God using His name. So we should only pray to God and not to Jesus, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
