To women, the church is a nest and the important thing is to make everyone comfortable. To men, the church is an army and the important thing is to kick the devil’s butt.
Imagine that.
And yet when we’ve begged for the restoration of sacraments, we were told to go to a diocese that agrees w us. And now they have in addition to new Catholics, droves of people who never were fully initiated bc of stupid rules. Or they are confirmed at Mass before their marriage. Or confirmed at same Mass at the baptism of their God child.
The listening and voting must only be of one type of female.
Does that also include trans women and LGBTQ+?
Don’t get your hopes up ladies. There will only be one vote that matters, and it’s his. Calling him the “Dictator Pope” is being polite.
How long, O Lord?
And by “women”, he means agitators who happen to be nominally female.
So it’s not a synod, it’s a focus group (and papal echo chamber).
Generally Popes have not been very successful at controlling their successor’s policies although Julius II seems to have made strong efforts to mark the Papacy with his own stamp.

G.P., some of the most fervent butt-kickers I know are the ladies in my Bible Study group. We also bring snacks.
If a women is to be a priest she would have been born a man. No woman can withstand a command from the Pope since even men cannot. Pope Francis has stacked the deck.
Pope Julius II saved the Papal States.
“If the Lord wanted women to be priests, He would have made His Mother the first one.”
[..I believe that it was from Archbishop Fulton Sheen. ]
It makes sense.
If only Jesus had taken a census on ideas and ideals of His day. What does the culture say?
There wouldn’t of been a resurrection because there wouldn’t of been a crucifixion.
Instead of get behind me Satan it would of been Satan lead the way.
To Pope Francis.
Choose wisely.
In the outcome of this Synodailty he will mark his legacy, without any doubt, and his fate will have been sealed in it.
He won’t open the door to women priesthood.
Deaconess are not valid in the Holy Catholic Church.
The faux catholic church has deaconess and priests, and invalid sacraments.
A play thing for degenerates.
An extension of identity crisis…
Southcoast— I was speaking generally. I’m glad that you’ve got fervent lady butt-kickers in your Bible study group, and I’m impressed that you and your friends are studying the Bible. I’d like to see more Catholics do the same.
