Seriously? You think the Catholic Church respects women?? FAR OUT DUDE!! Well, I gave you a logical reason to believe what I believe. You have not presented a single reason to support your belief. But I'd love to hear one.

Mary is the most revered human in Catholic theology.

Roberto - Saints are MUCH MUCH MUCH higher on the totem pole that priests, and the majority of them are women. Your position is illogical and untenable.
Besides.... ever hear of nuns?

When I was six or seven, I was riding in Austin with my dad and my uncle and passed a big gothic structure. My uncle asked my dad what it was and he said it was a convent. Then I started asking questions and we got to what was a nun. My uncle told me that they ain't never had none, ain't gonna get none, and don't even want none.

Jake, saints are DEAD!! BY DEFINITION they are people believed to be in heaven. Are you really this stupid? I'm talking about the LIVING!! Folks walking this Earth TODAY with a heartbeat! Damn buddy, just Google "Catholic and Women" and read for yourself. NO WOMAN CAN BE A PRIEST!! WHY?? Because she doesn't have a penis. Pure and simple. Only ANATOMICALLY CORRECT folks can be a Priest, that is, they have to have a DICK. Illogical? Yep, you're correct about that. There is NO LOGICAL REASON why anyone needs a dick to be a Priest. But that's what the Catholic Church says. If you think the Catholic Church holds women in the same light as men, I have some property in Florida to sell you. Google is your friend. There are THOUSANDS of hits detailing just how backward the Catholic Church is when it comes to recognizing women as equal as men. Indeed, there are ENTIRE WEB SITES devoted to women's rights in the Catholic Church. Damn!! ..............Bob

Bob, you are correct. There are thousands of web sites bashing the Catholic Church. There are also thousands of websites telling us that Obama is a Muslim, that GWB is the anti-Christ, that Aliens run the State Department, that the moon landing was fake, and that the world is going to end within a year of whatever date it is today. That's your argument? That it's ON FUCKING GOOGLE? I can probably Google "Dr. Bob is a Pedophile" and get a hundred thousand hits. Does that make it TRUE? Are you really this stupid? ? PS - I'm not much of a church goer, but I have occasionally gone to church with my mother. Never once - NOT ONCE!! - have they said, "get that Second Rate Citizen Whore OUT OF HERE!!!"

Total thread drift here but I think all four of us can handle it. Google searches fascinate me. I love the history of the "Google Bpmb" launched on Craig James. He was a pro footbal player that played his college ball at SMU in the 80s. Several years ago some individuals started a campaign to associate Craig James with a false story that he killed 5 hookers while at SMU. They inundated the internet with references so that to this day if you Google Craig James this story pops up early. It has taken on a life of its own. He even addressed it during his US Senate campaign. Bob, you are correct. There are thousands of web sites bashing the Catholic Church.

Jake, let's make it simple. One cannot be an Ordained Priest in the Catholic Church unless said one has a dick. Why is that?? ............Bob

Apparently, I was assuming WAY too much suggesting Jake Google women and the Catholic Church. I tried to Google myself and pedophilia, but didn't get anything. Googling "Catholic Pedophile" returned 2,560,000 results. I could be wrong, but I think the Catholic Church has a pedophile problem. It has something to do with folks thinking they can just "say no" to sex. What a FUCKING STUPID thing to do. God gave us sex. Leave it to the Pope to tell God He fucked up.

Long ago, my girlfriend called me a pedophile.
I said, "That's a mighty big word for a twelve year old!"
Bottom line: Bob, you have an irrational hatred for the Catholic Church. I have an irrational soft spot in my head for them. I think we can coexist.

Cathlic Priests and Popes were married up to the 15th Century. I don't understand why they changed it.
Popes who were married St. Peter, Apostle St. Felix III 483-492 (2 children) St. Hormidas 514-523 (1 son) St. Silverus (Antonia) 536-537 Hadrian II 867-872 (1 daughter) Clement IV 1265-1268 (2 daughters) Felix V 1439-1449 (1 son)

I heard (sorry, no cite) that they kiboshed priests getting married because their heirs were bleeding the church dry through inheritances.

Not much choice. Unfortunately the Catholic Church is not going to go away any time soon. They will continue with their 2000 year old platform of stupidity. I do feel that they are going to get lots of pressure from countries around the world to open their files and clean up the mess they have with the pedophiles. If they had any morales in that church, that would be the right thing to do.

Heirs were banned from any inheritance in early 700ad. Marriage was not banned until the early 1000's by Pope Benedict VIII.

I have an irrational soft spot in my head for them. I think we can coexist. Just stirring up the SH*T around here . . . nothing like Religion and Politics to get the pot boiling. I don't have a hatred for the Catholic Church, I just hate to see folks suckered in by extreme stupidity. The reality is many Catholic doctrines make as much sense as the Taliban. Old habits die hard. Humans are evolving, but Catholicism is stuck in the perpetual dark ages.
