Mary Magdalene: "Hey, guys, I was just at Jesus' tomb and I've got some good news---"
Peter: "Stop it with your women's talk nonsense. I'll go check it out and report back."
And that's been the story for the 2000 years since!

as a Catholic myself, a trained chimp could deliver those god damn sermons. It's the same shit on a yearly basis like clockwork. if a Woman wants to do that then what's the problem? Sing, routine prayer shit, reading directly from the bible the exact same passage from the same time last year, kneel, stand, kneel, sing, more routine, communion, kneel, stand, more singing.
Seriously, a trained chimp.
You're a trained chimp?
I'm definitely replacing "sincerely" with "seriously" for all my correspondence.
Seriously, A minimally-trained chimp
akshually 🤓 it's a six years long cycle (2 years + 3 years) but under no circumstances you will deprive village's assigned reactionary of their soapbox. without church, who would be running political interference??

If they don't reform they could make themselves irrelevant faster. So maybe it's a positive overall.
It's absolutely amazing how idiotic people are. I get wanting the warm fuzzy feeling of an afterlife, but the church has actively changed what "God" wanted to benefit the church several times. How daft do you have to be to not realise it's a cash grab.
The Roman Empire just co-opted the religion, changed a bunch of stuff, and stomped out any other sects that didn't fit their narrative of patriarchal oppression. Pretty sure big J would have hated what his "followers" are up to.
The highest rank a woman can achieve in the Catholic Church will continue to be Nun....
Is a Mother Superior considered a higher rank than regular nun? Or is it like tech lead, more responsibilities but same pay.

Once again a great example of why religion does not belong in the 21st century. No matter how tolerant and progressive they claim or pretend to be, there will always be something that shows they just want to adhere to their medieval rules.
And touch little kids. They seem to be keeping that tradition alive.
Phoebe the deaconess would like a word about that. Given Paul thanks her for being a "diakonos" or deacon of the church in Cenchreae. They honor the Bible but prefer their own accumulated traditions over scripture.

If they don't appeal to misogynists who else will they attract?
Yeah, gotta keep the molesters as all male.
Of course. Because fuck the Vatican anyway. Den of pedophiles.
