Gender Roles In An Age of Confusion
By Robert Frederico

A dozen women participated in a ceremony, in
which eight will proclaim themselves as Roman Catholic priests and four as deacons. Why all the conf...
Here is how I see this problem with role confusion. Our God is not
the author of confusion. Yet we do know who that other author is. Jesus
ordained and chose men to continue the priesthood. He has chosen men to
continue the Apostolic sucession.The Bible says that there is a
difference between men and women and that we should respect and honor
each other. Jesus says he is one with the Father. Not one with the
Mother.
The point here is that Father is given to certain duties
and resposibilities. In the same manner, Mother calls for specific
dutiesand responsibilities as well. Are we going to call God The
Father, God The Mother? I know I'm not getting caught up in new/old age
cult. Why don't these so-called women "priests" desire to imitate our
Blessed Mother Mary? Their ordination is invalid, as is their attempt
at confecting the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Jesus.
Our
Mother Mary is an integral part of human salvation, and seated with the
Holy Trinity in heaven. Of course women should imitate Jesus but, in
the ways he has commanded.
My concern is really for their
following or so-called "flock" of these so-called "priests." Are their
followers naive enough to want to play Russian Roulette with their
souls and the souls of others?
I can not believe these women and
their hoax priesthood could truly care for anyone other than
themselves. And it seems they don't care much about the jeopardy of
their own souls, in addition to the now-excommunicated priests that
performed the hoax ordination.
As the liberal left continues to
break away from The Holy See, they continue to break their friendship
and grace with God's Church, the bride and spouse of Jesus Christ.
We
are living in an age of much confusion and mental illness, that is
being masked as normal and natural. We all need to pray for many women
to see their femininity, and cherishthe beautiful gift of being a
woman. We should never diminish the mercy of God on the mentally sick
and confused.
At the same time, we should not take it for granted either.
