There is a pretty strong sect of women priests here in the USA, who operate without authority from the Vatican. Do you think Pope Francis will ever welcome them to practice under Vatican blessing? He does seem to be very forward thinking as far as people's rights. Could he be the first Pope to reach out a hand to these women?

(And transubstantiation is supposed to be this grand mystery anyway, how are we to know women can't participate in it?)
First of all, the catholic religion doesn't base their lives off of the bible. Second of all, the bible was written by saved men of God through the Holy Spirit. The bible is the literal word of God, God-breathed and God-inspired. The bible is scientifically and historically accurate and it's fulfilled over 300 prophecies, with more to come. The bible is true, and if you don't believe that then you're going to be in for a rude awakening really soon. Jesus died for your sins so you could be forgiven and reconciled to God because on your own, you're not a good person and you can't work your way to heaven or God. The bible doesn't condone suppressing women. Men and women are equal in value, but we have different roles to uphold. Women take care of things, men work and have the authority in the household. Only people who hate God and don't know him personally have a problem with male and female roles. You're not ready to submit your life to Christ so of course you hate the idea of a woman humbly submitting to her husband. It's a shame because the clock is ticking and if you aren't right with God you're going to fall for the great deception that's going to come during the time of Jacob's trouble. People need to wake up and get saved before it's too late.
