I Like The Catholicity In Time: Our

Religion Often Is Misused For Purely Power-political Goals, Including War.

In My View, The Catholic Church As A Community Of Faith Will Be Preserved, But Only If It Abandons The Roman System Of Rule. We Managed To Get By Without This Absolutist System For 1,000 Years. The Problems Began In The 11th Century, When The Popes Asserted Their Claim To Absolute Control Over The Church.

If You Cannot See That Divinity Includes Male And Female Characteristics And At The Same Time Transcends Them, You Have Bad Consequences. Rome And Cardinal O'connor Base The Exclusion Of Women Priests On The Idea That God Is The Father And Jesus Is His Son, There Were Only Male Disciples, Etc. They Are Defending A Patriarchal Church With A Patriarchal God. We Must Fight The Patriarchal Misunderstanding Of God.

In The Event That My Illness Worsens, I Want To Have A Guarantee That I Can Die In A Dignified Manner. Nowhere In The Bible Does It Say That A Person Has To Stick It Out To The Decreed End. No One Tells Us What "decreed" Means.

And A Third Thing Is The Understanding Of The Church As A Community, A Communion Which Is Just A Hierarchy But The People Of God, Whose Servants Are The Priests And Bishops.
