What do you think is the real reason why fewer men are becoming priests?

Did you know the part about women being submissive was not even originally part of the book? It was written in much after it was written, by an unknown scribe, on the side of the text. Men thought that was great, and so they left it. Now we have a whole culture that degrades women, think men are the boss and "in charge", etc.

*As a proactive and outspoken woman that is married to the kindest and quietest man, I used to struggle with this. My hubby hates making decisions, they come easy to me. And yet I was not being Godly enough by using MY brain and my talents? Talk about the mind-fuck!

After reading the scholarly shit about this...I was like WTF??? It all lies. Most religions are based on money, sex, power, and PATRIARCHY. Sick!

Merry PAY DAY to all the PRIESTS that RECEIVE EVERY DIME contributed on Christmas Eve and Christmas, by people thinking they are giving their money to sustain the church! My (PRIEST) brother is so happy to celebrate mass for "you" today! #Don'tFeedTheBeast This is why I call Catholicism a cult. This guy has lost his mind and has had his identity completely overwritten by the church. Does anyone else feel like the Church is weirdly obsessed with dying young? Everytime I look at the comments in catholic subreddits. Work with me. I was married outside the RCC. The RCC sees me as an adulterer and my child as a bastard. Had I been married IN the RCC and cheated on my hubby THAT would been better than me being happily married outside the RCC. One was temp, the latter constant. Gotta love when your uber Catholic mom says she "sticks by what she said" (to me) in that she doesn't believe people should fundraise to be able to adopt. Bullshit! Have you guys seen how r/Catholicism is freaking out about the gay marriage referendum in Ireland?
