"The church can pronounce all it wishes but will never speak with the authority of God."
- No, YOU didn't read what I posted. Holy Mother Church has spoken with the binding and loosing authority given Her by Christ. She has said, INFALLIBLY, that there is no way the Church can ordain women priests. It is part of the deposit of Faith. End of discussion.
"The catholic church will never speak for God until it allows God's people to live as they are created and called."
- Translation: 'The Church can only be right when She matches my beliefs.' The inability to ordain women is part of the deposit of Faith. While you're throwing that out, is there anything else you would like to throw out of the deposit of Faith, on your authority?
"No latin words can speak to the truth as long as they are uttered by fools and charlatans."
- They are 'fools and charlatans' because they do not submit to the theology of Rev. John, eh? I do not presume to hurl invective at the Holy Father like you. What did Christ say in His time about the WORST charlatans of the time? Here is your assignment, Reverend: go get your Bible, open it to Matthew 23 and read first several vereses.
Your theology is bankrupt. You don't have a leg to stand on. You refuse to submit to Church on matters of Faith. If you are a priest, this puts you in a very dangerous position, as you are no doubt aware.
