I love an illogical argument as much as anyone, but I have to say I have my concerns about this one. A man who claims to be a lapsed Catholic is stating his firm belief that Mary was a virgin all her life, but doesn't know what I mean when I talk about the Marian tradition.(It's the story of Mary -that she was pure, a virgin, said yessireebob to God and all that) And who keeps saying a whole lot of stuff that is just plain trolling.
FYI Joe: I learned about Paul and his battle for control of the Corinthian? Carthaginian? church is theology classes.(I called them God classes.) When I was studying to be a teacher in Catholic schools. I can't reference the text for you as I don't remember anymore. All I can say is the tutor was a man of great integrity, learning and compassion and I'm pretty sure he wasn't lying. I was being encouraged to think and make informed choices. you know, being eddicated.
Evaine, as to the question of female altar servers, our Cardinal George Pell, recently sent a letter to all the bishops and priests stating that girls were no longer to act as altar servers. Obviously it only applies to this country unless he becomes the pope. (God forbid.) He also instructed all parish priests that they could no longer deviate in any way from the prescribed script of the Mass. He is famous for denying communion bread to a woman because she is the mother of a practising homosexual. Not a good look, but he doesn't care.
