"Conclave" opens at theaters today. This anti-Catholic trash has been heavily promoted by the Left.
Let's get a few last licks in against the the Catholic Church before the election. Let's make those Catholic voters on the fence think a little more. After all, the Church opposes abortion. How dare they? How could you vote Republican?
Let's have fun with this movie and use all of the old tropes: the church is sexist, patriarchal, it is filled with intrigue, Machiavellian, sinister, and don't forget to fold in a sexual scandal or two. In reality, it's hypocritical and evil.
But let's have some more fun messing with this gender-rigid institution and toss in a genetically female pope. Look at that, we outfoxed the foxes. How cool is that?
Following from the thoughts above, the included article explains why the Church can only ordain men as priests.
This blows the mind of the Left. The progressive mindset sees us as androgynous--there should be no gender barriers or distinctions. Not so. Thank God we are separate and complement each other.

Guaranteed box office flop, guaranteed Oscar awards for participants from Church-hating Hollywood.

I just heard a review. I think you should probably reserve judgment until you see it.
If you don't think backroom politics and ideology come into the selection of a pope, then you are even stupider than I thought you were.
Which wouldn't be easy.
94, google podcaster Ben Shapiro, an Orthodox Jew, and see his outrage over this hatchet job.
He said that Catholics should be "pissed off" about this hit job on the Catholic Church.
And he's right!
On the issue of women priests/popes...if Margaret Thatcher and Angela Merkel can lead countries...
and maybe even Kamala Harris...then the RCC has no reason for banning women as priests, bishops, cardinals or even popes. As a matter of fact, look at any parish in the U.S....every one would crumble were it not for all the women volunteers running them...they have earned the right to take on such roles. Given the numerous failings of our Male-Only clique...there's a good chance we could do better with some female leadership.
Hopefully, Pope Francis will continue his fight against "Backward Thinking"...
If Jesus wanted to, He could have chosen a mixture for the 12 apostles. He didn't.
Jesus is the head and the church is His body. He is the bridegroom and the church is His spouse. Complementarity is called for in this relationship. The Catholic Church was founded this way and continues as such.
The Left wants to dispose of such complementarity. That is the way of the world. It spawns a SC justice who doesn't know what a woman is.
The way of Jesus and His church is different. Thank God.
From the Catholic News Agency...
Support for the ordination of women to the priesthood ranged from a high of 83% in Brazil to a low of 47% in Mexico. Sixty-four percent of U.S. Catholics surveyed were also in favor, slightly higher than the 62% when Pew surveyed American Catholics on the issue 10 years ago.
Support for female ordination varied widely by age, however. For example, only 34% of Mexican Catholics above age 40 favor female ordination, compared with 64% in the 18-39 age bracket.
In the U.S., by contrast, older Catholics are more supportive of female ordination than younger Catholics, with 66% of those above age 40 in favor, compared with 57% in the 18-39 age bracket.

Ty, the church doesn't make decisions based on polls. You're desperate!
(no message)
I'm not desperate...I'm confident that change will occur on that issue and the growing acceptance of
women in leadership among the laity will come to fruition..."Patience Grasshopper" ;-)
It has come to fruition, just not in the area of ordination. Sorry!
(no message)
LOL...it's not your call, "Ize"...here's another RCC teaching that almost no Catholics adhere to...
i.e. Contraception...what percentage do you think adhere to that teaching?...
btw, membership in the RCC is declining...largely because of insensitive teachings regarding Contraception, Gay Rights, Women's Rights/Ordinations...and the Catholic Hierarchy knows this. Consequently, IMO this recent effort at "Synodality" by Pope Francis will serve to open up the closed minds of enough clerics to more acceptance of the needs and desires of the laity...not unlike what Vatican II accomplished.
Man, Ty, you are one disgruntled Catholic. Take the afternoon off and go see "Conclave."
(no message)
'Disgruntled' isn't the right word...more like 'Disappointed'...having experienced the surge of lay
activism from Vatican II, it's disappointing to see the current fall back to 'Clericalism' and lack of involvement/emphasis in Social Justice Issues..along with clear politicization of the American RCC...but that's okay...we'll deal with it...thankfully, Francis has enough cardinals now, with the proper motivation to ensure the right changes take place.

Well, Ty, why don't you drop out of the Catholic Church if you prefer the others?

I'm not the only Catholic calling for women to be ordained,..things can...and do...change.

Sorry, even your liberal friend, Pope Francis, says no dice.

Being the 'Forward' and not 'Backward' thinker that he is, it wouldn't surprise me to see him, or
his preferred successor, yield to the growing wisdom that women deserve the same status as men when it comes to leadership within the RCC.

The overturn of Roe v. Wade was the beginning. A pro-life culture could gain traction.
Pro-life candidates in state elections would be encouraged to run and once they gained momentum, state laws could reflect the change.
Actually, it’s been just the opposite since Dobbs.

To quote a fellow poster..."Don't hold your breath"...the 2022 mid-term elections were largely
driven by the reaction to Roe v Wade being overturned...that sentiment isn't going away, especially when it deeply affects the lives of all women
While we're on this subject....what's your response to the millions of innocent women who during their fertile years have endured totally unwanted pregnancies that were forced or coerced...should they have no say in the impact that has on the physical, mental and emotional impact they have on the rest of their lives...or possibly the end of their lives?...should politicians be the judges...not them?
I am patient and confident.

Stuff like that? He has modified his abortion position.
The POTUS also plays no role in whether gender reassignment surgery is legal.
He had to modify it. He's a politician. That's what they do.

No he didn’t. There are plenty on the right who haven’t.
You support an unprincipled, serial sexual assaulter of women. Justify that to your Lord.

So, if he was a murderer with good policies that would be okay and the lesser of

Read your own post...you said DJT was "...in line with traditional American and Christian Values"...
he is no such thing...you even admit he's a "Scumbag"...what is wrong with you that you're able to see him for the low-life that he is, yet claim he isn't???
