re: National Cathedral being broadcast nationally with a female priest overseeing Christmas.

Glad I missed it.
I remember the first time I went into that Cathedral. The elderly lady at the door reminded me of my Grandmother in a very nice way.
I can only imagin who fill that niche nowadays.

I didn’t see a woman in the pulpit until college when I went to a Mormon church with a buddy. He leaned over and said, ‘now I know why women shouldn’t preach. I can see her nipples.’

She was giving a talk as any active adult member of the congregation is allowed to do. She was not the “minister” of the congregation, conducting the service. That role must be filled by a man (by Mormon religious law and by common sense).

The nipple sighting, that’s not particularly a commonplace occurrence in a Mormon Church church service setting. Congrats on a rare Bingo Card item that not many people have.

To the OP: One of my kids works less than a mile from the National Cathedral; nice place to visit.

The Catholic Church has its problems with modernization, but thankfully this ain't one of em. Thankfully the younger generations can see the negative effects of Vatican II and are pushing to return to traditions, not more straying from teachings.
If only the USCCB would get on board - it's my hope Pope Leo XIV will slap their hands from being so drunk on the fed government treasury teats.

In your church do you allow women to sing songs or in the choir?

Nobody's answered this yet.

I went to a Catholic Mass and some lady was up there doing some kind of reading. How come none of you told her to sit down and shut up?

Jesud named 12 Apostles. None were women.

Paul named a female apostle. That’s way closer to the source then a church today.

Great question. This silence relates to authoritative teaching or disruptive speech. It does not apply to functions of laity in the Mass such as readings and singing.

ETA: Laity or lay people are not ordained but can be men or women and help out with some of the administrative parts of Mass, following the script not preaching or speaking with authority.

They are emboldened. It's right out in the open.

Why? That's how they chose what was in the Bible and what wasn't.

The difference is it’s from multiple different accounts. People from different countries of different professions, sins, and education.

So you’d have to have some major collusion.

If you don’t it’s interesting how the stories intertwine no?

Not to mention Paul, that’s a whole other story.

It doesn't have to be this way, brother. Catholicism would be a familiar switch. Come home.
