Catholic Bishops Condemned Racist Video. How About Women



The Catholic Bishops condemned the video used by Trump of the Obamas portrayed as monkeys. Why cannot they find the same juices to condemn sexist portrayal of women?

My prediction is every branch of Christianity, denominations, individual churches and groups of churches that consider women not worthy to hold the office of clergy or higher, will slowly fall into the trash bin of history. This is a solvable problem. Every denomination picks and chooses which parts of passages in the Bible it chooses to believe and follow. I've never heard of a denomination that forbids clothing made of clothe with different materials in the threads. We all know of the ancient food taboos. 

But, some the men in the faith cling to the mythical views about the "proper roles" of genders. Of course, a current hot button issue is defining gender. All the stuff about gender can be written off as ancient myth and ignored. When there is self interest at stake, we will see men putting women in second place.

As an example the link points to one of Paul's letters that demands women not hold church offices but limit their aspirations to serving their husbands and have children. The link says correctly these parts of Paul can be preached against and ignored. The option is there. You will not see the Catholic denomination, Southern Baptist, Lutheran Missouri Synod or Churches of Christ do this, Every male who benefits from men holding superior status will ask, "What's in it for me?"

If various denominations are sliding in membership, their future is bleak. They would have little to lose by trying to change. Catholics have a large bureaucracy of males. Men in those positions likely would not be harmed ever though the future would eventually include some women in leadership positions. 

Men in the faith, especially Catholic Bishops, need to wake up and save their church.
