There really... aren't solid reasons as to why the pope can't be female. It ties back to the semi-false idea that Christ only had male disciples and apostles (though Mary Magdalene and her title Apostle of Apostles calls this into question), there are also letters of Paul from the early days about women priests that, taken out of context, imply no woman should ever be a priest, but in the context of the times, was about the hedonistic lifestyle of high priestesses in ancient Roman and Greek religious life who utilized sex and sexual appeal as part of worship. There's a reason that the Anglican communion does not bar women from being ordained or holding positions of power within the church, as biblical scholars gain a deeper understanding of the contexts and meanings in texts as well as gain better understandings of the original texts in their native languages.
hi current and former catholics on radblr. is there a reason there cant be a female pope (i understand the requirement includes being male and baptized)? like is it actually something that makes sense-ish or is it just a long running tradition of only males having power. Or is it something to do with the original pope (peter). i am just curious
It's Tuesday and I'm already 21 hours in 🥲 but patients need care so... what is one to do?
upgrade your life by taking note of the objects you use most and slowly replace them with the most beautiful and high-quality versions of those things you can find.

Do you consider a 20 minute walk a far walk?
I need a bubble bath, followed by a nap with a freshly laundered blanket but instead I'm going to the Dr's office because I just slipped a disk.
