Wow, so not only does presence of women insult the Church, but also "female" chromosomes in men.
So there you go, Cardinals have their chromosomes checked before being elected to be popes. Almost as if the makers of this movie were right about conservatives being xenophobic extremists.
Quote:Bishop Robert Barron on ‘Conclave’ movie: ‘Run away from it as fast as you can’
Bishop Robert Barron is urging Catholics to skip the new film “Conclave” — a fictional movie that depicts a papal conclave — saying that it “checks every woke box.”
“If you are interested in a film about the Catholic Church that could have been written by the editorial board of the New York Times, this is your movie,” Barron, the bishop of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester, Minnesota.
“The hierarchy of the Church is a hotbed of ambition, corruption, and desperate egotism [in the movie],” Barron continued. “Conservatives are xenophobic extremists and the liberals are self-important schemers. None can escape this irredeemable situation.”
In the movie, a fictional cardinal with female chromosomes and an intersex disorder is selected as the new pope.
The priesthood, including the papacy, is reserved for biological men.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
