The Pope and women

Catholic church reform process expected to disappoint hopes of more equity for women

A yearslong process to reform the Catholic Church closes Saturday with recommendations that are expected to fall far short of hopes that women would be given more equity but that reflect the pope’s aims for a church that at least listens more to its flock.

The Vatican’s top doctrinal officer, Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernandez, told the extraordinary assembly of bishops and laypeople this week that Pope Francis said the moment for allowing ordination of women as deacons in the church “is not ripe.”...


Women can't be deacons, much less priests? Gee, I'm shocked! I mean, isn't Francis the most liberal pope ever? Isn't he a big fan of women and fairness and everythig good? Wake up! He is and always has been a very conservative person, priest, pope, and sexist. That's just the truth, one that anyone would know if they had ever paid attention to his history, his own words over the years, and of course, his actions or lack thereof.

As long as he is pope, there will be no women deacons, no women priests, and women will be preached as little more than baby-makers.

And if you are thinking that maybe the pope who comes after him will be diferent, think again. The system is built for conservatism .... people are chosen as bishops because they please the conservative higher-ups, and it is from this pool of yes-men that the papal candidates are chosen.

Those guys don't want change - they are happy in their own little country, where pedophile priests are protected from presecution, where the incredible property wealth* the chirch owns around the world supports their lifestule, and where women will always be nuns, housekeepers, and the people who do the flowers at Mass. There won't be any change.
