It's time the members took back their church and ousted the bloated papist tics in Rome. Given that the RC's revere Mary as the Mother of God and that they call it the "Mother Church" - really, the entire rejection of female clergy in the church is bizarre, to say the least. There's more Lady's of this and Mother's of that in the RC church than - well at least as many as in any decent mythology. It's really kind of funny and indicative of the dysfunctional world of their belief that a church is on the one hand so overwhelmingly male, and single male and at the same time has such a huge preoccupation with one woman, one completely unattainable in any real, personal way. No wonder they have so many problems. Time for a Popess? It would actually seem like the right direction for them to go when you think about it. Why doesn't the Mother Church have a Good Mother to rule it? Food for thought....

Moi? Raised on the stuff. I sweat Catholic Kool Aid for 10 years of parochial education. It was a tempestuous relationship at best. It did give me a view into the diversity of the religious orders populace. I never heard a thing about the perv priest stuff until I was in high school and middle of the first year there were a couple of guys who'd entered seminary immediately after graduating elementary level and then quit within a year and showed up. They talked about there being "queer" priests and how weird they were. I didn't ask a lot of questions, I was just glad they'd been able to drop out - some families pressure their kids to stay in. So that was about 1964. Law suits have come out of that seminary years later. But - nothing, not one from the elementary school I attended. I got to know those priests pretty well and although they were goobers of the highest degree there's no way I believe they would have been involved or tolerated such things. One in particular would have gone medieval on anything like that, I'm sure. So they weren't and aren't all bad. But the Pope? the Vatican old guard? Bishops, Cardinals? Generations of swine replicating over and over. RC theology makes Scientology look reasonable. /> and those guys are the head pricks in the dik parade.
