Skip Sunday Mass for sake of enlightened women?

If they’re that unhappy with the Roman Catholic Church, they should leave. The Episcoalians would welcome them. They have women ‘priests’ and goofy neo-pagan dancing.

But if they left, they’d have to give up their phony status as “victims” and “rebels,” and also their phony Catholic “cred” with the liberal anti-Catholic news media.

A few dozen women (per the article) in Portland, Oregon are urging local Catholics to join them @ a local park Sunday AM, in place of attending Sunday Mass, to protest women’s in-equality in RC church. The Oregonian, Portland’s newspaper, has this featured front page, above the fold in this morning’s paper.

Words are inadequate.

I don’t suppose they care, but the 4th Commandment says, Remember the Sabbath and keep it Holy. So what they are essentially doing is asked people to break one of the Commandments.

That’s the third commandment.

I guess that everyone can be used as an example, even if its as a bad one. In a very real sense, what these women are saying is: “lets protest Jesus, we are more important than the Catholic church. Come on Jesus, get with the times”

How pathetic!!!

I’m not real thrilled about how some things have been handled in the church by higher ups, mainly how the whole abuse/cover up thing has been handled at times, and I let my feelings be known. With that being said though, thats an issue that can be changed and this is not. I also realized that whining about problems was also having a negative impact on others who may have saw my thoughts, and I could very well be responsible for driving others away from Jesus.

I think these women need to think long and hard about everything that I just mentioned here. What are they teaching their young children? Are they aware that they may be driving others away from Jesus and His church with their negative behavior?

That’s the third commandment.

Actually it is the 3rd or 4th Commandment. It depends on which book you look at.

It depends on whether you are using the Catholic or Protestant numbering. We tend to use the Catholic version of things 'round here.

The Ten Commandments 4. Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy
I got that right of the Vatican news site.

“You shall not take The Name of The Lord your God in vain; for The Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His Name in vain.” The Third Commandment.

It’s not quite as neat a division as that The poster who enumerated the Sabbath Commandment as the Fourth in the Decalogue is Orthodox, and it is numbered as the Fourth Commandment by Orthodox and Protestant Christians, as well as by Jews.
Roman Catholics and Lutherans number the Sabbath Commanment as the Third.

CHAPTER ONE
“YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND”

ARTICLE 3
THE THIRD COMMANDMENT

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work; but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work.90
The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath; so the Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath.91
