There has never been a woman leader of any major
religious group (with the possible exception of The Salvation Army) that I can
find and that should be shocking to our core.
Our hearts should be
shattered that there are no women priests, no women in the leadership of the
Catholic Church and virtually none in the leadership of any other church or
religion that I can determine.
Why are we all thrilled to
have a few women ministers or deacons?
Why are women slaving for
religions and churches that have no respect for their ability to communicate with
the same Being that men communicate with?
Why don't all women walk
out? Why are they cooking and cleaning and donating and serving and teaching
for institutions that clearly think that they are inferior beings?
Just askin.
Everyone can read, pray,
worship and enjoy the companionship of fellow believers anywhere. So why not go
on strike? Just get up and walk out and take your checkbooks with you, women.
Or, become an agnostic or
atheist. Just sayin.
Hope I haven’t hurt your feelings!
Your friend,
Vivian
PS Hope I haven’t committed
heresy. I didn’t look it up.

It has been brought to my attention that the leader of the Episcopal Church of the United Church (and several other countries) is a woman.
ReplyDeleteAnd... there are women Catholic priests and bishops -- not recognized by the Pope and official Vatican hierarchy.
