“VATICAN CITY, June 23 (Reuters) - The Vatican on Tuesday reaffirmed a long-standing rule that only an ordained priest or deacon can give a sermon at a Catholic mass, rejecting a request from German bishops to broaden the practice and allow sermons by women or other laypeople.”


as a Catholic myself, a trained chimp could deliver those god damn sermons. It’s the same shit on a yearly basis like clockwork. if a Woman wants to do that then what’s the problem? Sing, routine prayer shit, reading directly from the bible the exact same passage from the same time last year, kneel, stand, kneel, sing, more routine, communion, kneel, stand, more singing.
Seriously, a trained chimp.
You’re a trained chimp?
I’m definitely replacing “sincerely” with “seriously” for all my correspondence.
Seriously, A minimally-trained chimp
I don’t think it’s a skill issue…
this is just a blatant oversimplification
akshually 🤓 it’s a six years long cycle (2 years + 3 years) but under no circumstances you will deprive village’s assigned reactionary of their soapbox. without church, who would be running political interference??
