At a funeral for a beloved member of the SSND's at their convent in Elm Grove, a "priest" of this Archdiocese visited with my wife and children (I was chatting with others at the time).He told one of my daughters that 'by the time you're 21, you, too, could be a priest!'--at which my wife broke out in laughter while the daughter simply gave him the "You're Crazy!" stare.
Fortunately, my wife's laughter was not utterly derisive. She was merely grateful that I was not present to smack the silly turkey upside the head.

Here, here, to the Catholic Sisters for promoting the common good!
"She was merely grateful that I was not present to smack the silly
turkey upside the head."
You now advocate hitting a man of the cloth, especially if you disagree with his position? WOW!
Two things are certain:
1) You don't know how to spell "hear."
2) You will NEVER need an estrogen supplement.
"And I reset to "ignore permanently" as a result."
Mmmm, let's see, that lasted roughly a day.
Hear, hear, Dad29, for pointing out my grammatical error and apparently my transformation from a man to a woman...but my message still resonates. You just keep digging yourself a bigger hole in the eyes of God. That much is CERTAIN.
Confession and repentance does the soul good, Dad29!
Why does the absence of a penis preclude one of God's children from serving the church as a priest? You could turn those dismal attendance numbers around by shaking things up a bit. Women are just as capable as men of leading the liturgy, hearing confession, and giving communion.

Oh, they certainly are: in the Episcopal Church because...

...womyn priests certainly aren't boosting the numbers for the 'Piskies.
Just saying.
Here's a modest proposal. How about if you don't like Catholicism, you find a different church? Or, if you're not Catholic to begin with, how about you keep your nose in your own theology and let us worship freely?
Trolls...
With no dog in this fight I laughed uncontrollably for up to ten minutes over this response.

1) You don't know how to spell "hear."

Then I read the following comments and laughed harder. Especially the one about the penis. Gheesh, for crying out loud, get over the FACT that men and woman are two different beings with two different sets of "features".
"Or, if you're not Catholic to begin with, how about you keep your nose in your own theology and let us worship freely?"
Sort of like the union busting thing?
"...that men and woman are two different beings."
Do you prefer the black or the blue veil?
Funny how we start on "social justice" and end up with catholycs rejecting the sacraments. The two seem to go hand in hand.
Anonny:
You want to explain why all the religious orders listed are graying and diminished, while the more traditional ones have the happy dilemma of needing to expand their novitiates?
Or why the number of seminarians in Milwaukee and Madison rose dramatically after Dolan and Morlino took over?
Sort of like the union busting thing?
No, unlike the unions I'm advocating free association. It's a great thing: you really should try it some time.
Do you prefer the black or the blue veil?
The mantilla? I prefer white.
TerryN--Yeah, I'm glad you're laughing regarding my apparent beatdown, and I'm sure you chuckled at Dad29's willingness to hit a man of the cloth in the face and his refusal to delete a poster who advocated sodomy.
Just make sure to TRULY repent for your own sins tomorrow at church.
