“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

“Had Christ not risen we could not believe Him to be what He declared Himself when He "made Himself equal with God." But He has risen in the confirmation of all His claims. By it alone, but by it thoroughly, is He manifested as the very Son of God, who has come into the world to reconcile the world to Himself. It is the fundamental fact in the Christian's unwavering confidence in "all the words of this life.” WorldBelieveMadeFactsChristianChristSonEqualClaimsFundamentalsThis LifeEasterRisenReconcileConfirmationUnwaveringHe Has Risen Author:B.

“People will listen to sophisticated physicists, using God as a kind of metaphor for the deep constants, the deep problems, the deep principles of physics, and say that in that sense I believe in God. The reaction is, "Oh, this great physicist believes in God - that means I'm free to believe in the trinity and in the crucifixion and in the reincarnation of Christ" - and all that stuff, which of course has nothing whatever to do with the fundamental constants of physics, which is what these physicists are talking about.” PeopleBelieveKindMeanProblemCoursesI BelieveStuffChristTalkingPrinciplesFundamentalsMetaphorI Believe InPhysicsReactionsBelieve In GodSophisticatedReincarnationPhysicistTrinityCrucifixionI Believe In God Author:Richard Dawkins
“There is a fundamental difference between Jesus and Muhammad and their teachings. When the Jews brought a prostitute to Christ and asked him what to do with her because the law says stone her, Jesus said, let the one who has not committed any sin throw the first stone.
