It was a spirited week where I found myself jousting with one or two people that showed a lot of hostility to the Catholic Church. I also talk about abortion and how I was once pro-choice but came to realize what that choice meant.
It is what it is...
Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa...
Equal does not mean the same.
Recently, I got into a bit of a heated debate in the blogosphere. Some British article in some online rag said the Catholic Church was still practicing "misogyny" because it refuses to ordain women to the priesthood. They said things like the Catholic Church was "recruiting" Anglicans who didn't like the idea of female or openly gay married priests and that just because the Church may have been successful in recruiting these lost sheep, that doesn't mean it validates the Church's "misogynistic" position and they better think again if they believe it does! I'm paraphrasing but it was something to that effect.

Sounds like a rant from a particularly vapid thinker who doesn't know the real meaning of "misogyny." Also doesn't know Jesus as He revealed Himself to us in the Bible. Props to you for wading into the fray.
Thanks! The sad thing is I would expect that argument from an atheist who thinks religion is responsible for all the world's problems but it was a "Christian" that I debated with and she went out of her way to tell me that the "Catholic Church wasn't relevant to other Christians." It was funny because her statement was actually irrelevant to the discussion.
I eventually told her I wasn't going to discuss things further with her because she was too ignorant and obviously had a lot of contempt for the Catholic Church. Those types can't be reasoned with.
