The National Catholic Register reports that a recent meeting of the Vatican's Council of Cardinals (C9) discussed the role of women in the Church. The Cardinals were addressed at the meeting by female Anglican bishop, Jo Bailey Wells, currently deputy secretary general of the Anglican Communion.
Bishop Wells was one of the first generation of women to have been ordained in the Church of England and who has campaigned for 'gender equality'. After the meeting she said, "Many have suggested this was an historic moment. Certainly, I was honoured to be invited to describe the Anglican journey in regard to the ordination of women, both in the Church of England and across the Communion. There was deep engagement and some good discussion."
Pope Francis is quoted as being 'very much in favour' of a female diaconate but that there was 'no reflection on the presbyteral ordination of women in the Catholic Church'.
The 'Anglican journey' as Wells put it has been a disaster leading to confusion and disarray, not least for 'gender equality' which has been used to trump common sense.
In addition to the gender nonsense which is used to deny biological facts, parity is demanded, often with dire results as evidenced following the appointment of many women bishops, particularly in the Church in Wales.
Duplicity abounds resulting in many faithful Anglicans being denied the sacraments and pastoral care.
Pope Francis is on record as declaring that women cannot receive holy orders or be ordained as priests. thus upholding the traditional doctrine of the Catholic Church, yet it is reported that Pope Francis is 'very much in favour' of a female diaconate!
Were that to be achieved, as in Anglicanism, it would be claimed that woman deacons must be allowed to become priests, then bishops along with all the rest of the liberal agenda leading to same sex marriage.
The Pope has already approved same-sex blessings.
The writing is on the wall.

Some more good news today.
ReplyDeleteBegum has been told NO once again, but in addition... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-68384240
Reverenesse Paula Vennells has been stripped of her "honour" for bringing the honours system into disrepute.
Now then, does that crawler Welby have the balls to defrock her for bringing the Church of England into disrepute too, or is the CofE already so disreputable that it wouldn't make a blind bit of difference in any case.
The smart money is on Welby being utterly craven as usual.
Venal Vennells had honour?

DeleteThe Catholic Church or the Pope has nor approved same sex blessings.The recent document explicitly condemns that principle and states unequivocally that sex can only be blessed and enjoyed within heterosexual marriage open to God's gift of life.(section 5).It also states that the Church can never change this.Note the openess to life ..a principle rejected by Anglicanism as early as 1930.
ReplyDeleteAny imitation of a wedding ceremony or liturgical setting is explicitly condemned...section 11.
What is allowed is an off the cuff blessing praying for persons in irregular situations (of heterosexual or homosexual ) to receive God's grace to place them open to return to Gospel values.So many people are left in these sad situations and this is a move to keep them in our thoughts and prayers.
