if you want to bring up papal authority, yes, true, but if he changes it it's the pope too

Yeah, but it's been practiced so long that it might as well be. There's no good reason to remove it besides enemies of the church wanting it changed

That's true, look at the intentions

However, again, it's a non-dogmatic thing

yeah

I'm understanding the gist of it

female deacons on the other hand......

what

Just change her name lmao

Also, here's a question someone threw at me once. Will removing the homosexual clergy also mostly deal with the issue of molesting priests?

Yes

<12> But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to use authority over the man: but to be in silence. ```

But we need to make an example of the faggots so no one feels like doing it again

**1 Timothy 3 - Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)**

```Dust


<1> A faithful saying: if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. <2> It behoveth therefore a bishop to be blameless, the husband of one wife, sober, prudent, of good behaviour, chaste, given to hospitality, a teacher, <3> Not given to wine, no striker, but modest, not quarrelsome, not covetous, but<4> One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all chastity. <5> But if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God? <6> Not a neophyte: lest being puffed up with pride, he fall into the judgment of the devil. <7> Moreover he must have a good testimony of them who are without: lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. <8> Deacons in like manner chaste, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre: <9> Holding the mystery of faith in a pure conscience. <10> And let these also first be proved: and so let them minister, having no crime. <11> The women in like manner chaste, not slanderers, but sober, faithful in all things. <12> Let deacons be the husbands of one wife: who rule well their children, and their own houses. <13> For they that have ministered well, shall purchase to themselves a good degree, and much confidence in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. <14> These things I write to thee, hoping that I shall come to thee shortly. <15> But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. <16> And evidently great is the mystery of godliness, which was manifested in the flesh, was justified in the spirit, appeared unto angels, hath been preached unto the Gentiles, is believed in the world, is taken up in glory. ```

Probably not entirely, but yeah.
