Those religions that have now started to 'allow'female priests, are taking the first baby steps towards sexual equality. ***I do not follow your logic. We can easily recognize 'deviant' sexualbehaviour. We are having married people who are complaining about it in their marriedlife. It is really pitiable to find out facts regarding 'deviant' sexual-genitalbehaviour. Catholic Church does not accept women for ordained priesthood. There arereasons. The tradition has its deep roots, and it will not be changed.It does not mean that the Bible and the Church does not accept equality of gender. Joao observes: Clver but not really convincing argument. I guess you could say the same about slavery. We have this long tradition but it does not mean that slave owners don't accept equlity of gender outside the cotton fields .... I don't see how you can have it both ways. But, keep trying, and you may convince a few diehard Roman Catholics about the truth of your words. Long live hatred of women within the Roman Catholic Church! You are in holy hands! >>>* Secondly, it is beyond my understanding why any God would ask:* a) That its priests should not be able to reproduce. b) That the very same priests who are deprived of their sexualityshould be the people who dictate sexual morals. ***God did not ask it ("being deprived of sexuality"). In today's psychologysexuality is broader than genitality. It is the tradition of the CatholicChurch, namely only those who wilfully acept celibacy are ordained forpriesthood. Priests are not 'dictating' sexual morals. They are learning it from reasonand faith. Ethics teaches everyone what sexual morality should be.Regards.
