No women or donkeys ...

The Church of England has decided against women Bishops and the Roman Catholic Church has banned donkeys from the nativity.

Isn't it time the Greek Orthodox Church retook charge and showed them the way ....

Thank you for the nomination, my fellow ass. How can I complain?

There is nothing spiritually higher than a Jenny; except a Bishop Jenny! :D

Why do you think they call him the “arch” bishop? It’s because he’s got arch-ithkia!

Now how is a woman going to claim such a title… scrotum implants? :?

what I find quite amazing is the suggestion in some places that the nativity scene is a Jewish invention- this quite a remarkable allagetion of historical revisionism, particularly as it based on prophecies FROM THE 7TH CENTURY BC ie 700 years or so Before the nativity reportedly took place.....h

I think however that Women ordinands of any sort falls foul of the teaching of St Paul - not that I agtree with his teachings, and in particular where I think the whole institution of the Church with its heirarchy is more probably a man-made rather than any god Inspired organisation.

everyone knows the donkey, which carried Mary to Bethlehem is from Cyprus,

...they were the Cadillacs of their day, i've heard.

pity the simple beasts, which will no longer occupy Catholic thinking in the time of giving.
