Women who want to stand up in a CHURCH and preach -- give me the heebie jeebies! As far as that goes, women (and men) who want to be extraordinary (which they aren't) ministers in the improper manner of today make my skin crawl. It's disordered!

Fine.

Do it in your workplace.

Do it in your family.

Do it in your neighborhood.

Not in the Church.

Not from the pulpit.

Not anytime.

Holiness has nothing to do with your status within the Church.

Johnette Bencovitc is not anymore or less holy because she “preaches” than an illiterate, housewife in Guatemala.

In fact the housewife in Guatemala is probably holier.

Save your Vatican II spin for someone who cares.

The fruits of Vatican II speak louder than your incessant spin, spin, spin.

Where’s the beef? Where’s the holiness?

In fact these “active” laypersons are confused on many matters of Catholic faith and morals. They are in essense the blind leading the blind.

Johnboy sounds like a cheerleader at a Call to Action meeting:

“Women speak up loud and clear on the faith and your *experiences*”

The dog analogy works well on many levels.

Johnboy, I bet you’re a big fan of the multi-gender footwashing at most Holy Thursday masses nowadays?
