You know they say that for every great man there is an even greater woman behind him. You and I could not agree more on the modern church. I am so glad you enjoyed the post!Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06610444517085989215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319886081447332049.post-13533931681216288982011-01-24T19:12:05.337-08:002011-01-24T19:12:05.337-08:00Thank you for a most interesting post.

I thought it was more of an early medieval move to consolidate power and control. Seems men were less secure and more power hungry at a earlier time. <br />Women have been making such headway until recently. The new pope is turning back the clock in so many areas making the church more out of touch with people and with the early church itself. The early church was a community of believers spreading a message of love, forgiveness, generosity, and understanding. It was not an organization of old men holding on to their control and positions, afraid to let that community develop, grow, and minister as it should.<br />The time for perpetuating the fallacy that women are less capable and less worthy is long past.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
