You will also be able, in that very setting, find a set of women with a different story to tell.

My aunt can tell you about her affair with our parish priest.
Did that turn out good or bad for her?

Re: Catholicism & Women

I know women are disrespected and undervalued... but I have to agree with MTD. It seems to be the MEN that are being attacked more today. Pretty much most TV shows shun any parental authority by men. His role is valued most when he majors on his feelings and sensitivities... to the point of diminishing his masculinity.

Re: Catholicism & Women

The Catholic Church is actually the worst Christian Cult of all time. Millions were killed by them over the years. They do teach one thing I agree with them on at least in countries other than America. The womans headcovering.

I am not sure that one can assign 'levels' of bad to cultic behavior. JW, Mormons, Branch Davidians, etc. are plenty rotten... think Jim Jones for an example of a bad 'Christian' cult, think Warren Jeffs...

I think the view that the RCC is the 'worst' stems simply from the fact that they have 2,000 years of history, not 200 or 20 and that they have millions of members not thousands or hundreds or scores. It's simple multiplication, not being any worse. They also were around in much rougher times and places then some of the cushy religions of today.

To their credit they have carried the torch of Christ through time. Many tend to forget when they hold their precious Fox's Book of Martyrs that those saints were... Catholic.

I think the UPC would be mortified to find out exactly how much they share with Catholicism. I think that the RCC is a great example of 'But for the Grace of God go I." But I would never go so far as to deny that they are my brothers and sisters in Christ.

About the original post of this thread, that IS interesting and for them, I am sure it's true.

No the worse is because they have actually KILLED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE who disagree with their doctrines. I have never heard of one person being beheaded or drawn and quartered by Oneness believers. The Catholic martyrs you mention were killed BY CATHOLICS because they disagreed with Catholic doctrine including the veneration of Mary.

Re: Catholicism & Women

The RCC is anything but a Christian Church.

My husband agrees with this assessment that television diminishes men in general. He is so disgusted by cartoons like Family Man and especially "The Simpsons" where the father figure is portrayed as a bumbling idiot and his wife is the strong voice in the home. Why does the man have to be portrayed in this fashion?

He does not watch television at all because of the programming.

So...the community found out?

That is a typical response from the RCC when there is a "scandal" or a "potential scandal".
