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.

As stated, “Therefore the Church announces the good tidings of salvation to those who do not believe, so that all men may know the true God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent, and may be converted from their ways, doing penance.” In other words they believe that all of the members of the Church are saved if they actively participate in communion, doing good works, and countless other things. Presbyterians,…

Sunday worship service, Bible study groups, and different kinds of fellowship in the church all show that the importance of togetherness for Christians. Some churches offer free meals or events for everyone to show the hospitality of Christians. It is important to welcome newcomers and care about them. However, though it is safe to stay inside of the church and have connections with the brothers and sisters in the church, Jesus command all of us to make disciples of all nation. It is not…

based of the Gnostic Gospels, is being looked to as the holder of all that is sacred and holy. The Church is being fractured, internally. Not since Luther nailed his 95 Point Theses to the church door in Wittenberg (sic) have we seen such division.

He believed that, “It is a culture that is exciting, dynamic, and purely their own” (Harlem). He expressed their culture by creating the piece, Nightlife, right after the Harlem Renaissance.
