Is it their winsome hands-in-the air jollity?
We were told, you may recall, that if we didn't ordain wimmin to the priesthood no one would take us seriously and everyone would stop going to church. A powerful argument made all the more compelling by the ethical force behind it. Viz. Not having wymxn priests is unjust, bigoted and evil, so we must have they/them.
Leaving aside the hard-edged rigor of late 20th and early 21st century theology, we have to ask: Now that we've ordained wymmin for several decades is everyone taking us seriously and going to church? No, they are not.
Oh dear, we obviously haven't worked the equation hard enough, so maybe trans vicars and rainbow marriage rituals will finally persuade everyone to go to church because we're at last serious about social equity. First phase of the revolution failed? Double down.
But this is a smokescreen. Their intention isn't to build a Church they don't believe in, which they think has been unjust and effectively evil since the days of the Apostles. No, it's to tear it down. No matter, then, if congregations dwindle and die, the wrecking unicorn will have done its rainbow work.
They'll fail in this, the gates of hell shall not prevail, but in the meanwhile "there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." And persecution such as has been never seen. This is foretold.

Tear down the Church and tear down the country. God will win in the end.
ReplyDeleteYou all be safe and God bless, Parson.
The only successful wymyns' church I can think of was the one led by the Oracle at Delphi, and she was hard to understand because she was a stoner. Modern day priestesses are under the influence of the zeitgeist or some other unholy spirit which makes their utterances more like incantations to bewitch their stuporous Sunday morning pewsitters.
ReplyDeleteIs it time to repeal the 19th amendment? Yes, I told Mrs. Infidel. It's time to repeal. It's caused nothing but trouble.
ReplyDeleteShe disagreed and sentenced me to the couch.
None of them could be characterized as "hot". Not even mildly attractive.
ReplyDeleteEven the great Prophet Flip Wilson in his 'church of what's happeneing now prophicies' did not forsee the heresy of women pretending to be Priests.
ReplyDeleteThe "reprobate mind" in full. Romans 1 speaks to this, beginning at verse 18 and ending with:
ReplyDelete32 (KJV) Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
And they really do need to go back and "read the whole thing."
I feel, Linda, that God will grind them to powder. Terrifying, eh?

That's weird, pewster, I was thinking the very same thing. And note, the feminine of priest is priestess.
ReplyDeletePagans were keen on that.
Infidel! Weakness in the face of clear common sense?
ReplyDeleteThe 19th is an obvious error.
How many women enjoy working under their women bosses? It's bad enough with men, but imagine.
Now that, Wild, is a terrifying and powerful verse. Like no kidding.
