Clergy

What are you beliefs on female ordination? And why? Catholic Church should progress to including women in the clergy. I do support female ordination in the Catholic Church for these 3 reasons.One, females are just as competent and able to perform the duties of the clergy as males are. Also females make up 50% of a population so it makes sense that females also take part in this profession. Finally, we 're happy to have Female doctors, lawyers, dentists, astronauts, so there is no reason why we…

secular and spiritual, are different and entirely separate. Not only do the Romanists believe in the separation of the spiritual and the secular, but they also believe that those who make up the Spiritual Estate, popes, bishops, and other religious clergy, are far superior to those of the Temporal power, therefore establishing a sense of inequality within the Church. Luther addresses the hypocrisy of this statement by bringing forth testimony and evidence that greatly contradict the ideals of…

constitutional powers and take on responsibilities and decisions that would exclude the input of other social interests such as those of the Shiite people, the Shi 'a clergy and the working class who saw modernization as an opposition to their way of life. This opposition to the Shah and his reforms came strongest from the Shi 'a clergy and in particular a priest name Ruhollah Khomeini who saw Mohammad Reza Shah as a pawn of the foreign powers. In response to a speech given by Khomeini,…

Marie Antoinette and their boasted extravagance lifestyle and ignorance of his starving subjects. Additionally, corrupt politics meant that the peasants were subject to discrimination in courts and had to pay extortionate amounts of tax whilst the clergy were exempt and the nobility resisted. This caused those poorer to become angry with the unfairness of the tax system, as they felt the brunt of the burden of repairing the economy after multiple financial failings. People were then pushed to…

Some of these causes include debt and taxes, changes in culture, and an ineffective leader. Due to France’s major debt, the king had to raise the taxes. The commoners of France were forced to pay the majority of these taxes, while the nobles and clergy were not expected to pay. The nobles were the ones who held the powerful positions in the government. Commoners and peasants had to deal with manorial rights, which gave nobles the right to overwork and overtax them. The culture had dramatically…

The time period of the French Revolution (1787-1799) granted many supporters and protesters, including literary ones such as Thomas Paine, Mary Wollstonecraft, and Edmund Burke. Thomas Paine and his The Rights of Man responded to the revolution by advocating a need for democracy and republicanism: a government that would be more just and substantially supportive of the people. However, conservative Edmund Burke did not agree with the events. In Reflections on the Revolution in France, Mr. Burke…

Western civilization experienced many developments to education and intellectualism in-between the time of the fall of Rome and the renaissance. At first, education was based mainly on religion and taught in religious buildings during the middle ages, but as time rolled on colleges and universities arose. Intellectualism was comprised mainly of three factions humanism, secularism, and individualism, and were taught mostly by influential people and their writings. The development of institutions…

extravagant lifestyle distanced them from the reality of France. This register would have been made public to shame the King and Queen. Who are the three people in this painting and what do they represent? The people in this painting are the First (Clergy), Second (Nobility), and Third (Peasantry) Estates. This painting represents the First and second states, riding on the backs of the third. This…

role of sin and man’s capacity for evil. He is both enthralled by it and at the same time repulsed. But he is acutely aware of its existence and uses this knowledge to highlight the hypocrisy and insincerity of a religion suffused with tyrannical clergy and populated by a disingenuous society intent on purveying saintliness and devout lives while hiding their truest human natures. The “Veil” represents many things but the most prevalent are guilt and the fear of revealed sin. It was just a…

Hi Everyone, This is a great discussion on a very contemporary problem that will continue to be an issue in this information age. Take HIPAA out of the equation for a moment, every person has so much personal information in various computer systems, we don’t even know the extent of it all. For instance, to name a few computer databases a nursing professional’s information resides are the Board of Nursing for every state he/she is licensed in, any professional organization he/she is certified…
