Pope Francis and the archbishop of Canterbury denounced human trafficking as a crime against human dignity Monday and pledged to combat it jointly — finding common ground on a social issue amid deep theological divisions over the Anglicans' ordination of women bishops.
I'm sure this is a very deep and highly theological disagreement -- as opposed to one where the pope simply sees women as inferior and is mortally (not morally; mortally) opposed
to doing anything about the inequality of the sexes in his church. It's
just that Jesus doesn't like women. That's the whole shebang right
there. And the pope can't do a damn thing about it. He couldn't, you
know, change the rules or anything. Nuh-uh. Remember: he's only the pope.
Another outtake from the article:
The Catholic Church doesn't permit women to be ordained priests, much less bishops, on the grounds that Christ's apostles were all male.
Hmmm,
so let's see. There was once an all-boys club about two thousand years
ago ... and they haven't updated the rules in, oh, about two thousand
years. Makes perfect sense to me.
