One of the things that I like about my job is that I can drink beer while I do much of it.

In other thoughts, why is it invariably the worst single release from an album that ends up getting airplay after the popularity of the album has passed?

I want a job where I can drink beer :(

And it's a because the worst songs are the ones that get stuck in your head and wind up indirectly popularizing the band. It's like those horrendous Six Flags commercials with the Venga Boys song and the dancing old man. I loath those things, but I do wind up indirectly thinking about Six Flags all day after seeing them. Again, :(

Nah... you prolly gobbled that up in the weekend after you got it ;)

[badsede]

Nope, I saved one to drink with you when you're feeling better.

One of the things I DISLIKE about my job is that I CAN'T drink beer while I'm here!

I noticed you on Catholic Heresy and added you to my buddies. I hope you don't mind. I liked that you use logic and calm reasoning without getting excited and being snarky. Have a super-duper day!

Women in the priesthood

[apeiron_gaia]

Okay, I am writing to you my questions because I can't get any real answer over in catholicism. The only answer I get is "men are all masculine and women are all feminine, therefore women are incapable of being priests", "all the apostles were men", and "you don't have faith so I am not going to waste my time trying to explain it to you." All of these answers seem like they are missing some major theological reasoning (or are just plain rude and missing the pedagogical mark), and I don't know anyone on there besides you who is as education and patient as you are. This isn't a compliment, but it is true.

This is a response that I posted to sum up my questions:

I'm not saying that it [Jesus picked men over women to spread the gospel for practicality reasons] true, simply that there are other possibilities other than 'Priests can only be men because all the apostles are men. Hence Jesus would not approve of female priests because it is a "masculine role'". (It also seems to be completely ignoring the fact that Jesus DID have

Perspective is part of the problem. So, that is where we should start

So, these being said, there are a handful of reasons that the Church has a male-only priesthood. The most compelling is simple, when Christ instituted the priesthood, he chose only men. When he established the essential nature of the Sacrament, the material that he chose was men. The fact that there were many prominant women among Jesus' followers and disciples only makes this point more forcefull. Jesus did not hesitate to trample on many of the gender norms of his time. So to believe that he would be bound to the gender norms and prejudices of his time requires one to turn a rather blind eye to his ministry. It also highlights that the Gospel, evangelization and the mission of the Church was not just given to the priesthood, because it was also given to those female disciplles. The call of the priesthood is a specific call and role beyond that. If we are to say, "well, the Bible could be wrong, it was written by a patriarchal society after all," we reject another premise of Catholicism, that scripture is divinely inspired
