I dated an episcopal deacon lady once and attended a gay wedding. This was a catalyst to help me revert to Catholicism

“She is pretending to be an actual priest.” Quote goes hard

Grateful Catholic woman here who absolutely knows my dignity and worth is not threatened by an all male priesthood.

[kelkabot]

Catholic woman here and I have never felt that I am any less worthy because of the all-male priesthood. Men and women have different spiritual charisms, and I've never felt more cherished or honored as a woman than as a Catholic (I am an adult convert to the faith).

My wife knew a female Methodist pastor who secretly did not believe in God, but kept her job as a youth pastor because she didn't have any other skills and didn't want to find another job. She treated pastoral care like a teenager treated a fast food job, she was just in it for the money, but didn't care about doing a good job.

""Do you do this for His glory or for yours?" - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. I don't know why, but this simple line from a basic action film has stuck with me for decades now. It is so appropriate here.

Every time I see a female "pastor, " I hear them talk more about themselves and being a woman, more than I hear them preach the word.

I visited a church run by a woman “priest” one time. It was sad. The homily sounded more like a secular therapy session than an encouragement to honor God. The Bible study was full of broken people with deep painful questions. I could tell it was a tight group that loved God and each other, but there was no one to answer their questions. No one to lead them to comfort. Some things in life are so perplexing and hurtful even the most intelligent well intentioned person can only help so much. Only in Christ can we be made whole. Churches like this remind me of the Tower of Babel. Trying to reach God through a means other than full submission.

I’ve never seen a church that ordains women not eventually move eventually to condoning homosexuality and eventually, loses all orthodoxy in their theology of Christ.

[eaglestone]

That wasn't a priest that was an activist in a costume.

[benconnolly]

The expanded St Therese quote is so beautiful, with a wonderful, joyful intent. Shame that some people would cut parts of it to misrepresent her.

[tamarawinget]

As a woman who came to Catholicism recently to get away from this crazy feminist rebellion, I’m so grateful for you addressing. It needs to be addressed much more.

[RabidLeech]

Calling this lady a bishop is like calling Abortion healthcare.

my favorite argument against woman priests is that one "Call me Maybe" parody years ago where one of the lines was "Don't listen to St. Paul".

[JoAnnFuir]

My husband is a former Episcopal Priest. He left TEC in 2012. God instructed him to become Catholic. We are so.happy to be home at last. 😊

I am a Catholic woman, who will necer, never, ever want to witness female priests in the true church. I am thankful to God Almighty for all the traditional Priests. I am thankful for all of those who speak nothing but the raw unfiltered truth. The older I become the more, and more want to returned to ancient traditions. I have bought books of traditional teachings. First I started using the 1962 missal, now I am searching for the 1924 missal. With vatican 2 some prayers were removed as early as 1925. Thank you Trent. God bless you. ❤❤❤

As a Protestant, I’ve too noticed that denominations who adopt female pastors to follow the culture also soon adopt non-Biblical values. The only exceptions I’ve seen are churches who have had female pastors from a time when it was not socially acceptable such as the Nazarene church. I think the difference is the secular culture wasn’t being followed.

[MikeOrtego]

If Our Lady wasn't made a priest no one has any right to complain.

[Vicpoint]

As a general rule, don't trust someone who doesn't know the difference between men and women to give you the scripture.

[johnd.]

It's funny how people will say priest's garments are 'dresses' or feminine in some aspect, but every time you see a woman priest, they almost always come across as trying to be a man. I honestly can't take them seriously.
