Cradle said:Whoops, I don’t know what happened with my previous post (I hope no one thought I was agreeing with it!), but what I wanted to say to Barbara was that the male-only priesthood is not a matter of discipline, it is infallibly-defined doctrine. The Church DOES NOT have the power to ordain female “priests” and this is not going to change. (Thank you, however, for your words of comfort. I’m soooooooo tired of Uni… :whacky: )
As for the quiz thingie… I got 82, Confident Believer! There were some questions that weren’t worded exactly as I would have liked them to be, so I had to choose the next-best answer… hrrumph…
Hi there Cradle…I just caught this post by accident…
It sure is news to me that the male priesthood is an infallibly-defined doctrine… I’ll do some checking of my own. Not that I personally favour a female priesthood…what I ask myself is - is my bias against female priests purely conditioning?
Am I so used to male priests that the idea of a female priesthood is negative. That is my question is not really male/female priests, but ‘where am I coming from’? (a spiritual question, not a doctrinal question)…
