catholic women

Four Catholic ladies are having coffee together, discussing how important their children are.

The first one tells her friends, "My son is a priest. When he walks into a room, everyone calls him 'Father'."

The second Catholic woman chirps, "Well, my son is a bishop. Whenever he walks into a room, people say, ', 'Your Grace'."

The third Catholic woman says smugly, "Well, not to put you down, but my son is a cardinal. Whenever he walks into a room, people say 'Your Eminence'.

The fourth Catholic woman sips her coffee in silence. The first three women giver her this subtle "Well...?"

She replies, "My son is a gorgeous, 6' 2" hard-bodied, well-hung, male stripper. Whenever he walks into a room, women just say, "Oh my God...."

hahaha good one.

A Guttmacher Institute study found that 98% of Catholic women use birth control despite what the rules of their church. Ana Kasparian, Wes Clark ...

Why are catholic women (like in Belgium) more likely to allow a father to have a very good relationship with there children and do not care about money child support? In many cases they give man parenal rights and not any fincial responsibilty becase they think that children should have a very good relationship with there father. They think that this is more importand than child support.

Two completely different economic systems are at work. Belgium is a socialist country that offers far more services to their citizens than the US does, in exchange for a higher tax percentage paid. Child support may not be seen as "important" because the people are already receiving a higher amount of support from the state. This is rarely the case in the US.

I've wondered why the Catholic women stopped wearing hats to church? I've lived across the street from a large Catholic church for the last 50 years. This home was my parents, and when they both passed away at the same time in a auto accident, I was left their home. Even when I married, me and my husband stayed in this home and raised our children here. Anyway I watched from my window the changes in the church as the years go by and often wondered why the hats came off, when at one time they could not enter without covering their heads. I'm just curious I guess.
where in the Bible does it say a woman is to cover her head?

ALL people used to wear hats whenever they went out in public, and Church was no exception. After people stopped wearing hats when they went out, ladies still wore them to Church because the Bible says that women should cover their heads as a sign of humility -- the idea being that a woman's hair is part of what makes her beautiful, so she should cover that up so that everybody can focus on the beauty of the Lord.

It is a discipline that still exists -- in other words, Catholic women should still cover their hair when in Church -- but it is not enforced in the U.S. If a woman (of any faith) were to visit St. Peter's at the Vatican, she would be required to cover her hair before entering.

Read chapter 11 of 1 Corinthians for details about why women should cover their heads in church and men should not.

I have to wonder, though, why you stand by your window and watch people going to church for all these years instead of going yourself? You'd get a lot more out of the experience if you actually went in.

Contrary to what some suggested above, Vatican II did NOT change the rules about women wearing head covering. A U.S. newspaper reporter published something along that lines, but that reporter was mistaken. The rule remains.

Similarly, Fridays are still days of penance for Catholics. Eating meat is one option -- other options are doing a work of mercy (like serving at a soup kitchen), adding extra prayers to your normal observance, etc. The reason this was adjusted was to reflect the culture -- fish used to be cheap and beef was expensive, now the reverse is true and beef is the cheap food.

Also, we still give up meat on Fridays during Lent.

NOT observing penitent Fridays is only a venial sin, so eating meat on Fridays was NEVER a mortal sin.

What is the significance of Catholic women wearing a veil or hat when attending Mass?

Wearing a mantilla is a sign of respect for God and comes from Paul's admonition that women should have their heads covered when they pray.

1 Corinthians 11:5-6 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

After Vatican II, the rules concerning women wearing a head covering were relaxed, and now it's very rare to see someone wearing a veil or mantilla. Personally, I always thought it was a beautiful custom, and I hate to see it done away with.

there is a group of women who are trying to be priests in the catholic church. They ordain themselves and are trying to tell the pope to change the laws.

Why don't they start their own little religion if they want to hold the priesthood. Or maybe they can just join the United Methodist church.

Because they don't just want to be ministers, or religious leaders, they want to be ordained Catholic priests.

There are always some people who when you tell them they can't do something, will make it their life's work to try to do that one thing.

I wish they'd go be another religion somewhere and stop trying to change what God has made right.
