What I didn't understand until this Pope's death, it that many of the positions of the Catholic church such as women not being priests is not church law but rather church tradition. In other words, it can be changed without going throught the formality of changing church law. That means the leaders of the church are hanging onto some of these positions not because they might be morally wrong or right but rather because they like it the way it is. And they want their 'flock' to reflect their thinking and not the other way around. And the Church wonders why they are losing people in the more educated nations of the world.

A woman's position in the church is outlined in the New Testament. Nothing less, nothing more than a man's position. A man and a woman is equal in God's view, yet both have their own responsibilities and duties.

I don't think God adapts to stay "hip" with the current changing "progressive" sinking of morality in our society. When He has had enough, He'll do something about it. Again.

Just because you want to think something is ok if "everyone else is doing it", doesn't make it right. You'll grow out of it as you get older....
