Why homosexuals cannot marry.
Why women cannot be priests.
Ultimately the reason is the same.
There is a fundamental and radical real difference between the sexes.
A man is a man, and a woman is a woman.
A man is not a woman, and a woman is not a man.
It's basic.
Some things you just have to accept!
You cannot change that!
It's God given!
Thank God.
It is difference--absolute, clear, unalterable difference--which makes life exciting. All of magnetic reality is based upon it and makes everything attract or repel accordingly.
The Catholic Church is simply the guarantor on earth of the basic truth of things; Christ, perfect God and perfect Man being Her Lord and Her Life. He is the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Him, the eternal Son of the Father: one God!
Without the light of Christ you will get confused on the most basic truths of existence and reality. (Cf. Saint Paul's Letter to the Romans, Chapter 1:18-32)
P.S. This post is in reaction to the 60 Minutes interview last night with Cardinal Sean O'Malley in which he defends the Church's position on exclusively male priesthood based upon the express and unchanging will of Christ.
It is ironic that that interview, which focused on child sex abuse by men, should feature a plethora of advertisements for erectile dysfunction and Viagra! Typical journalist Pharisees who strain out the gnat and swallow the camel; they are the most vigorous promoters of the immorality which they pretend to condemn. Hypocrites!
