The Catholic Church is allowed to have discriminatory hiring practices (women are not allowed to be priests). Why is that? Why are they unlike every other corporation operating in the United States who is not allowed to deny a job to a woman simply because she is a woman?
Imagine if Wal-mart said "sorry ladies, but our corporate charter clearly states women should not have authority over men, so you can’t be a manager"
Why does the Catholic Church get special treatment? I guess money can buy you anything.
Apparently they think Jesus discriminates and wants it this way.
I think it’s abominable. To the poster that said men can’t be nuns- but they can be monks, which is similar. Men have the Church wide open to them. They can be priests, monks, deacons, acolytes, etc. All roles that are denied to women. Even being an "official" Lector is denied to women. It’s disgraceful..and so is defending it.
Women have absolutely no real say in the Church or on teaching that affects the most personal areas of their lives- or exclusively affects them. If the tables were turned, men would be rioting.

I heard that if you get bitten by a vampire that you become one yourself but in my opinion no Christian in hell would want to become one of those so what on earth can the true Christian do should they happen to feel the teeth of Dracula penetrate through their neck one day?
Is there a remedy or cure please?
Our blood is like Kryptonite to vampires..
We wouldn`t change, our blood will instead turn the vampire back to human.

I have an Xbox 360 and play Halo 3. I record clips from my played games all the time. When I watch the recorded clips, the cross hairs of my gun never show and are non existent. I see people post videos on youtube of their Halo 3 gameplay and their cross hairs are showing. How do they record their Halo 3 gameplay, showing the cross hairs?
They have a Capture Card.

In talking to many people over the years, people keep telling me that all you need is the Bible and to ask the holy spirit to help you understand the Bible. Nothing else.
Couple of problematic questions with this line of reasoning:
If you were to rely on your own understanding, would you not have many different sects teaching tons of different understandings of the Bible?
If everybody had the holy spirit guiding them, would they not all have come to the same conclusions regarding what the Bible actually teaches?
Everybody who is searching for truth of the Bible are all sincere in their search. Why do they not all believe the same thing if they all asked the holy spirit to guide them?
So, can you understand the Bible without a human to teach you?
If you treat others as you want to be treated why does anyone need a bible?
It’s called the golden rule I learned that in grade school, it’s the most important thing I have ever learned.
The golden rule never molested deaf kids, or covered up the molestation of deaf kids.

Christians make out that they merely introduce their children to Christian myths about Jesus, the god of the bible and Christian dogma about heaven, hell and eternal souls, but this is just more Christian spin, right? They don’t offer their children a choice, do they? Or maybe they do but they offer it in such a way to guarantee their child’s choice to become a Christian, by saying, “You can choose to reject Jesus if you like, but you’ll be tortured in hell for eternity,” is this how they do it?
My mom did, but she did it because her mother did it, and her mother did it because my great grandmother did it to her, and if you follow the path about 500 years ago, the person who persuaded my distant relatives into this religion was holding a sword… so I don’t really blame them that much.

Blue Cross might provide them at a discount?
And if they are sick and can’t work, can they still keep their policy or try to pay for COBRA with no job like everyone else?
They’ll get the heartless capitalist "F.U. buddy".

How to wish someone a happy christian russian orthodox christmas?
I just found out my recent good friend doesnt celebrate christmas, he specifically said ‘ my christmas is janurary 7th’ So how does he celebrate and do i wish him a merry christmas that day or how do I do so? I havent had a chance to ask him. Thanks!
He celebrates xmas on January 7th – its still xmas, but usually with st. nick instead of santa.
You would say, ‘Merry xmas."
You wouldn’t say, "Happy christian born again non-denominational protestant xmas" would you????
or, "Happy christian southern baptist protestant xmas" or "Happy christian roman catholic xmas"
Why does it matter exactly how he celebrates it – everyone celebrates xmas their own way, it’s impossible to know exactly how. He probably goes to church and then comes home to a meal with family and friends.

My husband is Anglican and I am Catholic, sometimes he goes with me to mass in the catholic church and the last time the priest did not give him the communion. Is that discrimination ?
I am sorry, but the Roman Catholic Church is not in communion with the Anglican Church although it reconizes that Church as apostolic and holy.
There are priests who would not recognize your husband as Anglican and give him communion, but that is a mistake. If you have become more outspoken in the parish and people know your husband is Anglican, someone should have taken you aside and asked you to have him not participate in the reception of the Eucharist.
All separation into boxes is discrimination, however, this is not illegal discrimination for the Catholic Church to include only members and select non-members in their Communion Service.
The Church believes that this is scandalous and brings ill repute to Christianity and we hope that it will some day be no longer necessary. Unfortunately, that day is not today.

This is my opinion, and I am a practicing Catholic who is beginning to feel some rage against the hierarchy in the Vatican. Their handling of this scandal has been unbelievably arrogant and self destructive. If they would just admit wrongdoing and move forth with the healing process, things would get better. Membership will fall enormously if they continue to be so self righteous.
Because they ARE out of touch. They are hoping to ride above the brouhaha on a cloud of sanctity and shocked unawareness, letting underlings take the brunt of the blows. They are afraid that by admitting their mistakes they will lose power and prestige. They hope that by bluffing their way through the scandal, they can hold onto the majority of Catholics while the scandals fade into history. The only way to change that is to keep the pressure on and not forget. They’re human. They will change if they see they have no other viable option. But it’s still a long way from "princes of the Church" to "serving the least".
