Children weren’t paid much mind either; and yet, we are told we must enter the Kingdom like little children…Jesus didn’t have a problem breaking man’s rules. It’s his Father he would not contradict.

Joe, he can’t explain it because he does not have serious information to explain anything. What he has is what liberals always have, pure sentimentality to address heavy subjects.

“in the time of Jesus, women were considered no more than slaves.” If that were true, the more reason for Jesus to elevate women to the priesthood.
Your argument really makes of Jesus a wimp who saw a grave unjustice and didn’t address it. It never occurs to you that Jesus being truly Man and truly God would know right from wrong even in his culture and would address a major problem if He saw one.

I, for one, don’t want a female Pope. Not that I don’t think women aren’t capable of church leadership but there are many things women can do within the church that are just as important if not in some ways, more important in helping shape our Catholic faith. One of the reasons I converted a few years ago was exactly because of the fact that for more than 2000 years it’s stood by it’s core beliefs that it believes to be God’s will instead of bending and shaping itself to the “people’s will”. Bending to the “people’s will” was what pulled us away from all that God wanted for us, more individual interpretation of the Bible, and Protestantism (which by definition, Protestant comes from protest).

Are you not familiar with the bible?

Women played a fundamental role to Christianity during the time of Jesus. They still do today.

Jesus told Peter to build a Church. The Catholic Church and the principles it has defined based on the teachings of Jesus is the result.

I’m trying to figure out how a pope being female would have ended any wars. Can you explain?

in the time of Jesus, women were considered no more than slaves. Had Jesus chosen some women disciples, no one would have listened to Him: and He knew that. He was a very wise man.
