Is the Catholic Church Today Part of Jesus' Body?

[Ziggy]

The issue of hiding is unrelated to this discussion.

Has anyone ever provided the concept that not all things are related to each other?

That depends on if you believe in coincidences or not.
hiding probably wasn't the correct word..
I am. And if who I am shows through my words then that means you can see me.
I'm not hidden.
I know what I mean...

I'm glad you noticed.

I found an article where the Pope has declared that women are no longer allowed to be in the clergy.
Pope John Paul allowed it and Pope Francis denied it.

So my question is..
If the doctrine is shifting all the time, how do you know where to stand?
Are you for or against women being Priests?

Hello Ziggy,

You were misinformed. The Church has never ordained women to the ministerial priesthood.
JohnPaul the great definitively declared that this was not open to debate and that the Church cannot ordain women.

Francis just affirmed it (he could not do otherwise)

Peace be with you!

Edit to add:

Wherefore, in order that all doubt may be removed regarding a matter of great importance, a matter which pertains to the Church's divine constitution itself, in virtue of my ministry of confirming the brethren (cf. Lk 22:32) I declare that the Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women and that this judgment is to be definitively held by all the Church's faithful.

Thank You for that clarification.
The article was written by Yahoo News..
There is so much fake news and propaganda
meant to divide every aspect of our lives.

Hopefully we will learn to discern these things.
I still fall victim to it at times.
Working on that..

Women err when they like to be noticed. That is of the world, not of the Spirit. Is this good advice for you, or are you going to resist?
