>Pope Francis has announced he will create a commission to study the possibility of allowing women to serve as deacons in the Catholic church, signaling an historic openness to the possibility of ending the global institution’s practice of an all-male clergy.
>The pontiff indicated he would create such a commission during a meeting at the Vatican Thursday with some 900 leaders of the world’s congregations of Catholic women religious, who asked him during a question-and-answer session why the church excludes women from serving as deacons.

Personally the idea of not letting women serve as priests/ministers doesn't sit well with me. But if you're just going to ignore parts of Paul's writings, you're undermining 1/3rd of the New Testament.

Honestly thinking of leaving cucktholicism and becoming orthodox. Does anybody have an idea on how to do this?

Why you are choosing to be orthodox? Orthodoxy clearly accepts women as deacons (see armenian orthodox church)

The "russia is now better off with SJW thanks to its timeout with christianity" is total bullshit. Soviet union was one of the biggest factors on creating the "independent woman" thing and bring it to reality.
Just see all eastern european women what did after they left their ex-communist countries.
They instantly jumped on the shitskin cock.

this, jews know how to destroy a thriving civilization, they're expert assassins in this regard.
thats why they empowered every toxic cultural poison in the USSR while they had authority.
After the soviet collapse USA opened it's doors to this snake.
And what do we see these days??
history repeating.

Christianity is what that keeps poland from being full sweden tier.
You are most likely a fedora that praises soviet union and if you are, remember that the soviet union imported niggers into the ussr.

Catholicism is dead now, it's a joke. Join the true church, the Orthodox church. In slavic it's called "Пpaвocлaвнa цъpквa", which means "Right glory church". We're always right, and we are glorious.

This is why as a lapsed Catholic its so difficult to go back.

Deaconesses used to exist in the early Church but have long since been obsolete. Female deacons have never existed.
If the Pope is talking about the former then there is no problem, but if he is talking about possibly ordaining women as deacons, then that is a problem.

In the early Church, there were even married bishops. Celibacy was enforced on the episcopate for good reasons, however.
Why the West ever thought celibate priests were ever a good idea is beyond me, though.
Thomas Robinson
It's been talked about by some in the Orthodox Church because it's been pointed out that Mary, Mary Magdalene and other women had some authority in the early Church, but it probably would never happen even if it could be justified simply because the Orthodox Church never changes.
Carter Wilson
You're right.
Chase Morales
I hope this asshole is joking. what are we? the fucking protestants?
Michael Barnes
>the Orthodox Church never changes.
Yes and no. There are some things (dogmas) that are unchanging, sure - but the Church has the authority to bind and loose on other matters.
But aspects of our worship change fairly often. Additions are made to the Divine Liturgy on top of the original by St. John Chrysostom; the calendar was changed; how we cross ourselves was changed; etc.
But on the topic of clergy, then female deacons/priests/bishops is an absolute no. It is simply not theologically justifiable unless you change our entire understanding of Christology.
Well, the Protestants fucked it up, so now it seems to be the Latins' turn.
Grayson Flores
Because >Muh God.
A life dedicated to God is better than one dedicated to God and family.
Theres one part in the Bible that says that the ideal is to not marry, but if someone cannot control his lust, he should marry.
The idea of celibacy is being a example of lustness. All priest had a option. They choose not marry
Angel Anderson
he used to work as a bouncer in a nightclub among other professions.
you know what kind of faggots work as bouncers.
Owen Anderson
So i just turned christfag is there any place left without corruption of the devil ?
Dylan Clark
THANK GOD!
you know because it is current year +1, and woman should also have to right to destroy not only society, but also religion
I think we should appoint a woman for the position of defense minister or leader of a nation next
ohh.....touché
Sebastian Howard
First of all, of course you can dedicate yourself to God through and by your family. Not all worship need necessarily be prayer and fasting. But yes, you're right, chastity/celibacy is the loftier option but that does not mean every priest need be celibate.
In fact, it can be a recipe for destruction to have a celibate priest and stick him in a parish. A priest's job is twofold: offer the divine services, yes, but also to cater to his flock. He can do that best if he has some semblance of understanding what it is like to live in the world as most of us experience it - not in a monastery or a seminary. That's why there is technically an age restriction of a minimum of 30 years old on the priesthood. The priest needs to be mature and have an understanding of life in all its forms.
Imagine you're a priest fresh out of seminary and assigned to a parish. You're 21 years old and about to hear your first confession. It's a 28 year old woman with a kid who has been married for 3 years; she is having marital problems, which in turn is causing her to be tempted by sin. What the fuck do you say to her? Telling her to say 10 Hail Marys is not going to cut it - it requires a pastoral response.
Anyway, this is all by the by. The fact of the matter is that the Church since its inception has allowed for married clergy and it has allowed for celibate clergy. Someone may be called to be a priest but they are also called to the married life - they may make a very good priest.
Besides, Eastern CATHOLIC priests can be married so it's not the Catholic Church even enforces the rule universally.
Julian Gomez
>the calendar was changed
Not universally though. There have been minor changes sure but there hasn't been a great ecumenical council in over a thousand years, and the council happening this summer isn't going to change anything either. As far as the Orthodox Church goes there hasn't been any major questions regarding the nature of the faith that need to be settled since the iconoclasm inspired by early Islam. The filioque, papacy, immaculate conceptions were all western ideas that never arose organically in the Orthodox world and never all that compelling to us theologically.
Charles Parker
Even an Orthodox Christian will tall you that female deacons have a precedent in the Holy Tradition, and existed at earlier times. The concern over them is that it's a modernist slippery slope, rather than a genuine appeal to the traditions of the Church.
There will be people who will try one or two things as a result. Either they will continue to lobby for other positions to be opened to women, or they will try to expand the roll of deacons in the liturgy. Both would be heterodox, and obviously subversive.
Angel Gonzalez
And that also reminds me of a joke; how many Orthodox Christians does it take to change a lightbulb?
"Change?!??"
Michael Howard
This Pope single-handedly destroyed what the Church was building for over two thousand years. It's unbelievable.

Ethan Phillips
Yeah, they're certainly not needed in the east. I know the Catholics are having a problem fully staffing priests. The thing is, there will be inevitable bad consequences by putting women in ANY position of power within the Church, even if it's simple administrative work. They can't help it! They tear down every institution they join.
Men (and women) have known this for thousands of years, and it's why NONE of their offices have survived to this day.
Ryan Myers
my church is more and more looking like those heathen protestants... time to go orthodox I guess
Jose Murphy
I bet they'll ignore that in the past female deacons were basically super nuns, who had to be over 40 and a virgin to even apply.
Owen Mitchell
Now I know why Catholics hate us protestants so much.
I'm sorry.
However we aren't all the same. Many protestant churches are good.

Exactly. It's why 70% of cult members are women. They're sophists, and they are rabidly fanatical about whatever they decide they believe in. That's how they destroy institutions. They find one or two things they disagree with, and going insane on everyone else until they can make things they way they want it.
Matthew Wilson
