Despre viclenia sectantilor

[ioanna]

Adriana, pentru tine totul e o anomalie, nu doar diferenta dintre preotia harica si cea slujitoare, pe care EVIDENT ca nu ai inteles-o sau doar te-ai prefacut ca nu o intelegi :) Spune-le si catolicilor ca abereaza atunci cand spun:

Men and women, by their natures, are suited to different, yet complementary, roles and functions. The Lord Jesus chose men (viri) to form the college of the twelve apostles, and the apostles did the same when they chose collaborators to succeed them in their ministry. The college of bishops, with whom the priests are united in the priesthood, makes the college of the twelve an ever-present and ever-active reality until Christ's return. The Church recognizes herself to be bound by this choice made by the Lord himself. For this reason the ordination of women is not possible. Ordination does not simply give a man permission to perform the functions of a priest; it imparts to him an indelible (permanent) spiritual character that makes him a priest, and since Christ and His Apostles chose only men to be priests, only men can validly become priests. To abandon the 2,000-year-old understanding of the nature of the priesthood would be a doctrinal change. The Catholic Church could not do so and remain the Catholic Church.
