Where women are honored

Vatican assembly on women equality without priesthood talk 'a joke': Universal Society of Hinduism

Vatican assembly on women's equality in Rome from February 4-7 despite big fanfare seemed like a joke as there was no discussion proposed on women priesthood, distinguished religious statesman Rajan Zed stated in Nevada (USA) today.

…Quoting Hindu scriptures, Rajan Zed says: Where women are honored, there the gods are pleased. Men and women are equal in the eyes of God and religions should respect that, Zed notes and adds that time has now come for the women priests and bishops.  full article

Bishop Bridget Mary Meehan agrees...

Bridget Mary's Response: I agree with Hindu Leader Rajan Zed that it is time for the Vatican to affirm a renewed priestly ministry with women priests The good news is that the Association of Roman Catholic Women Priests is serving inclusive communities where all are welcome to receive sacraments. The image illustrating Vatican equality is disturbing. The Vatican image reflects a patriarchal, dysfunctional church that holds women in spiritual bondage. This image denigrates women's bodies and souls and reflects a deep misogyny in need of healing and transformation. Bridget Mary Meehan, ARCWP
