In its study on the Diaconate, the International Theological Commission, explores the possibility of female deacons.

While generally against the idea, the paper regards itself as non-authoritative and concludes that "it belongs to the Magisterium to pronounce with authority on the question", something the Magisterium has not done before or since the report.

Shalom,

Obviously it is clear of course.
He would stand for the truth!Being the Lord of all truth and righteousness.
How we view the Church is one thing, how we treat others is another matter. One can never water down or deny the truth to make other people feel good or at ease with where they are, but put for a challenge in love to call them to fidelity.

Fidelity, I forget who is attributed in saying �nuns will become bishops when the bishops become nuns��
Otch Stephanos, concerning not calling another "communion" a "church", I remember when we were called a "rite" without many rights. Would it not be better to concern ourselves with "communion"?

The Eastern Catholic and the Orthodox Churches were not included in that comment, neither were the Oriential Churches. And it wasnt me it was the Second Vatican Council.

Dear Mykahl,

You may not have known, but Father Stephanos is a priest. The forum would appreciate if all clergy be addressed as such.

Thank you.

In Christ,

Just so you know, "Otch" is a Slavic form of address for a priest.

Hello
"Otch" is the Slavic form of address for a priest"
Do you mean Otche, in the vocative case,( with a final "e" having an "eh" sound ?

Thank you posters for your POLITE corrections. I read 'ouch', just as Terry did, and in that context, the post seemed a bit out of place.

I accept my error, but advise those authors of posts who take issue with an error related to themselves and their posts, to address the person/moderator politely and respectfully!

I certainly would not be presumptious enough to write in Greek and expect others to understand what I have written.

In Christ,
Alice, Moderator
