In the above post you mentioned women.

You also mentioned the phrase " IF THEY ARE NOT HOME".

I can see the point of the woman in question is a Mom. No one can replace her in the life of her children. But what about women who are not mothers? Should they also stay home?

Not all women are mothers.

To examples: one of my daughter’s sorority sisters is a jet pilot in the USAF and another is a cardiac surgeon. Both are married and have one child each. Is it easy for them? Of course not, but they have supportive spouses. Of course women should find the vocation that they love and proceed. Thank goodness this is not two thousand years ago and women were not educated and expected to stay at home barefoot and pregnant. St. Paul also advocated that women should not teach men or be allowed inn the sanctuary - once again, I surely am grateful that the Church doesn’t follow those old customs…:eek:

You forgot the third, ignorant.

Barefoot, ignorant and pregnant.

You don’t have too look far and wide to find people who have this view.

Some of them call themselves Christian.

Funny thing is that much of the Middle Ages was more progressive than fundamentalists today.
