Vatican keeps its women in line

Vatican cracks down on nun association
Quote:The Vatican orthodoxy watchdog announced Wednesday a full-scale overhaul of the largest umbrella group for nuns in the United States, accusing the group of taking positions that undermine Roman Catholic teaching on the priesthood and homosexuality while promoting "certain radical feminist themes incompatible with the Catholic faith."
Who'da thought a bunch of women would have views differing from a bunch of old men wearing robes?
Quote:Vatican officials also castigated the group for making some public statements that "disagree with or challenge positions taken by the bishops," who are the church's authentic teachers of faith and morals."
Insert pedophile comments here.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Here is a good Catholic Bishop for you.
Can't see why anyone would want to ignore him.

The American Church is past due for a schism if you ask me.

The church is nothing more than a political entity which needs to lose its tax exemption. They are a lobbying group for the 11th century.

Radical Feminist Themes? You mean gender equality?
Woah, fucking hardcore radical there.
Idiots.

Why are churches exempt from paying property taxes? This is bullshit! If a church is exempt from paying property tax, that means the rest of us have to pay a little more to make up for the revenue the government is losing. In effect, I'm subsidizing churches by paying taxes they don't! The tax exemption for churches should be eliminated!

Because they have sold a load of bullshit about how they perform a valuable civic function.
Yes, giving young boys their first sexual experience is a help to the community!

How long before one of these robed assholes blames this on the secularization of society?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
