“The Catholic Church holds that it is not admissible to ordain women to the priesthood, for very fundamental reasons. These reasons include: the example recorded in the Sacred Scriptures of Christ choosing His apostles only from among men; the constant practice of the Church, which has imitated Christ in choosing only men; and her living teaching authority which has consistently held that the exclusion of women from the priesthood is in accordance with God's plan for His Church.” MenReasonChristChurchPracticePlansTeachingExampleAuthorityCatholicFundamentalsSacredConstantScriptureConsistentlyApostlesCatholic ChurchExclusionPriesthoodGod's PlanSacred Scripture Author:Pope Paul VI
“If the churches ever did reunite, it would have to be into something that was as sacramental and liturgical and authoritative as the Roman Catholic Church and as protesting against abuses and as much focused on the individual in his direct relationship with Christ as the Evangelicals, as charismatic as the Pentecostals, as missionary-minded as the old mainline denominations, as focused on holiness as the Methodists or the Quakers, as committed to the social aspects of the Gospel as the social activists, as Biblical as fundamentalists, and as mystical as the Eastern Orthodox.” IfsIndividualSocialChristChurchAspectDirectAbuseCatholicCommittedFocusedHolinessOrthodoxActivistMissionaryBiblicalMysticalEasternCatholic ChurchCharismaticDenominationsQuakerRoman CatholicMethodistsRoman Catholic Church Author:Peter Kreeft
