They deserve to be turned off. But asking them to leave… we’re not about that.

It is well past time for the “dialogue” to stop. Those dissenting religious must be brought under discipline. Dissenting theologians teaching at Catholic institutions must be vetted and, if necessary, removed from their positions.

From Saint Paul the Apostle:

For there are many rebellious people, mere talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision group. They must be silenced, because they are ruining whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach—and that for the sake of dishonest gain.

– Mark L. Chance.

For the benefit of one and all:

Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, “In Defense of Catholic Doctrine” [Mysterium Ecclesiae]:

“The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has determined that the Church’s teaching on the prohibition of the ordination of women to the priesthood is an infallibly proposed definitive doctrine”

---

Pope John Paul II, Ordinatio Sacerdotalis:

"Although the teaching that priestly ordination is to be reserved to men alone has been preserved by the constant and universal Tradition of the Church and firmly taught by the Magisterium in its more recent documents, at the present time in some places it is nonetheless considered still open to debate, or the Church’s judgment that women are not to be admitted to ordination is considered to have a merely disciplinary force.

Wherefore, in order that all doubt may be removed regarding a matter of great importance, a matter which pertains to the Church’s divine constitution itself, in virtue of my ministry of confirming the brethren (cf. Lk 22:32) I declare that the Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women and that this judgment is to be definitively held by all the Church’s faithful."

**Responsum ad Dubium
October 28, 1995

Concerning the Teaching Contained in Ordinatio Sacerdotalis**, by the
Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

Dubium: Whether the teaching that the Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women, which is presented in the Apostolic Letter Ordinatio Sacerdotalis to be held definitively, is to be understood as belonging to the deposit of faith.

Responsum: **In the affirmative.

This teaching requires definitive assent, since, founded on the written Word of God, and from the beginning constantly preserved and applied in the Tradition of the Church, it has been set forth infallibly by the ordinary and universal Magisterium** (cf. Second Vatican Council, Dogmatic Constitution on the Church Lumen Gentium 25, 2). Thus, in the present circumstances, the Roman Pontiff, exercising his proper office of confirming the brethren (cf. Lk 22:32), has handed on this same teaching by a formal declaration, explicitly stating what is to be held always, everywhere, and by all, as belonging to the deposit of the faith.

The Sovereign Pontiff John Paul II, at the Audience granted to the undersigned Cardinal Prefect, approved this Reply, adopted in the ordinary session of this Congregation, and ordered it to be published.

Rome, from the offices of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, on the Feast of the Apostles SS. Simon and Jude, October 28, 1995.

In other words, friends, women cannot be ordained. This is not something that is open to change or debate; it belongs to the Deposit of the Faith, is infallible and unchangeable. It has been reinforced and reaffirmed by both an infallible statement by the last Pope, and by the CDF on at least two occasions.

Women’s ordination is a dead issue. It ain’t gonna happen. Move on.

They want dialogue? Pope John Paul II issued ordinatio sacerdotalis an apostolic letter which made it clear no women ordination and married priesthood. That was an infallible statement by John Paul II. For these 13 women, no that wasn’t good enough. They want dialogue because John Paul II gave them an answer and they weren’t satisfied with it. Their definition of dialogue seems to be, “we are going to keep fighting until the Vatican changes its position.” They do this so their liberal agenda can be satisfied. These 13 women are destined to be deeply dissapointed. The protestantization of the Catholic Church in America is alive and well. I have the feeling as a result there will be a huge schism and a great big one. The worst is yet to come.

That is exactly right Bones!They still like the media are under the illusion that the Church and Truth can be swayed if you have a big enough fit:nope: Rediculous
