Do you support women as priests?

[Sinyalan]

---

ah, but your very understanding of the priesthood is wrong. priesthood is a vocation. not a "line of work" or a "job".

But it is a job! Ask any priest if they don't receive "suweldo". They have payslips.

okay then, let us rephrase the statement:

i wonder why hollywood does not hire women to play leading ACTOR roles. hm...

In hollywood, they don't use actors and actresses now... they prefer to be called "actors in a leading role". If you watch The Oscars or Golden Globe Awards, they present an award with a title of "ACTORS...". That's exactly what to be politically correct because of an equal opportunity law.

For me I would support women as priests as one Franciscan said The Christian Church is not a state run by thought police. Having a good idea is not opposed to the Gospel. If it is God's will, time will take care of it.

What do you think?

I like the idea sir reg. women empowerment! Gone are the days when women are believed to be incapable of doing what men can do.

Women as priests or religious leaders in the community is not new to Philippine society. Remember the babaylans?

you sure? i've known a lot of RC priests and all of them have no payslips. check your facts.

In hollywood, they don't use actors and actresses now... they prefer to be called "actors in a leading role". If you watch The Oscars or Golden Globe Awards, they present an award with a title of "ACTORS...". That's exactly what to be politically correct because of an equal opportunity law.

Brad, sorry you didn't even include the word "UNIVERSAL"!

What is UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD?

The Universal Brotherhood is a term used in theosophical writings. It refers to the theosophical conception that all human beings are members of a spiritual unity.

ah, but your very understanding of the priesthood is wrong. priesthood is a vocation. not a "line of work" or a "job".

Not entirely. Most parishes have rectories where the priests get room and board. They get a salary which they are free to use as they wish. They have bank accounts, credit cards, and they make investments. One priest I know makes extra money in the summers by being the spiritual director on pilgrimages and others by giving talks and workshops in parishes. This is his money to keep. Priests have to buy their own personal items...toiletries, clothing, cars, gas, books, etc. Some parishes have TVs and computers for the resident priests to use, but some buy their own...for instance if they wanted a big screen tv or a lap top. Some parishes, like mine, have very nice rectories with housekeepers and cooks, but other parishes the priests basically live on their own and do their own cleaning and cooking. I know quite a few priests who own their own homes or apartments which they use duing days off or on vacation time.

secular priests, that is those attached to the bishop of a diocese rather than to a religious order, receive a salary based on their job--pastor, parochial vicar, chaplain, director of a diocesan office, teacher, or whatever. in most dioceses all priests receive the same salary, unless the work for another organization such as a college or hospital. they usually receive a stipend for expenses such as gasoline, and sometimes a living allowance. Most parishes have residences called rectories. Some live in private homes or apartments near their jobs, and some have rooms at seminaries, colleges or other such places. Retired priests often live in parish rectories with the younger priests, in seminaries, or in nursing homes or assisted living if necessary. they do not take a vow of poverty. If they have private means such as family money they may spend or invest it in any way they choose. They get pay into SS and medicare, and usually into a diocesan pension or retirement plan.

Order priests take a vow of poverty, and usually may own nothing personal, even their clothing is considered to belong to the order, and if they receive gifts, technically they belong to the order, although usually they are permitted to keep and use appropriate personal articles like toiletries, pens, books etc. They generally live in a residence provided by the order and are given an allowance for expenses such as gasoline or whatever is required if their work takes them outside.

Some are called religious extremists... actually these people are fearful that if they don't do what the Book says... they will be swimming in the fires of hell. They even force their kids to dedicate themselves to obey religion to the extent obviously creating a big gap between followers and obedience and that they will "righteously" judge people bending the Bible's teachings.

and we find these kind people here in the forum too.
