Vatican regrets female bishops decision

I am glad things are changing for us women.

But some people do not like change in history....such as the Vatican. In fact on Tuesday the Vatican said that it regrets the decision by the Church of England's governing body to allow the ordination of women as bishops.

The move by the Anglican Church's General Synod "is a rift to the apostolic tradition" of ordaining only men as bishops, the Vatican said in a statement, and is another obstacle to reconciliation between Anglicans and Roman Catholics.

"This decision will have consequences on the dialogue which had brought good fruits," the Vatican statement said.

The General Synod passed a resolution Monday night that allows women to become bishops, acting over the objections of traditionalists who argued that Jesus only wanted men in leadership positions.

Some traditionalists have threatened to abandon the Anglican Church for the Roman Catholic Church if women become bishops. Several hundred Anglican priests made that move when women were first ordained 16 years ago.

Here is the real kicker:

The theological debate over women bishops has centered over the question "What would Jesus do?"

The traditionalists argued that bishops must be men, as were Jesus and his apostles.

Firstly, umm.. Jesus loved women. A lot was taken out (I could go on and on about this but I won't. I love a good religious debate). What about Mary Magdalene?? She was a woman! And was with Jesus. I am sure Jesus is probably thinking "men and women SHOULD be equal, in everything.. there should not be wars and people should respect all religions and each other."

Plus I always used to say "would Jesus expect us to build a church and worship him? Probably not. But we did, so whatever. "

Okay. First I am glad the church is letting [finally] women do this. Us women have fought our rights forever.. to vote, to work,etc.. Even Queen Elizabeth I wasn't liked (well there were many reasons but one I am talking about) because she didn't marry. She ruled by herself.

Now with that, this feels like another King Henry VIII movement, remember the whole religion movement he did??? Queen Elizabeth I was the first Protestant (true) Queen. Henry converted..also destroyed many old churches while the movement was happening.

Maybe they regret it because us women are special. We have things men love: boobs and you know the other. We are mens sexual fantasies. Yes, us women have power! :)

How do you feel?

Atlanta, Georgia. A Georgia Tech student, Junior Michael McCarty placed an ad on Craigslist to find some help in kissing (does this remind you of the movie "Never Been Kissed?").

He told myfoxatlanta.com "Some people think I'm just trying to get some action," said McCarty.

McCarty said that wasn't true, and according to his ad, the college junior just wants to learn how to kiss.

"I placed the ad on Craigslist because I want to learn how to kiss a girl the right way," McC fararty said.

So far no one believes he is serious :(

He told myfoxatlanta.com that he did this ad only to impress a certain girl.

"I think she's my soul mate so I can't wait to see her next week," McCarty said.

McCarty said the responses to his ad have been pretty mixed and he tells everyone in the ad that he's pretty normal.

"I'm not looking for anything serious, just to learn how to kiss and that's it," said McCarty.

Good luck Michael McCarty! But you don't need to 'learn' how to kiss, it just comes naturally :)

Hey I taught my hubby how to kiss, I am serious, he was 24 years old and never been kissed.. now he is a good kisser ;)
