Give poor people in the Middle East
the tools to feed themselves.
Help them grow their own food.
Some crops can grow in seawater.
Fish farms can use seawater.
Some crops can grow in a seawater greenhouse,
that turns seawater into fresh water.
Further away from the ocean,
they can have farms with desert animals.
Is the food getting to the poor?This has been done, yet there are still Islamic fundamentalists.
We have police here in the USA but every time there is a riot they just stand around and watch.Is the food getting to the poor?
Most modern countries have abolished the death penalty.
But we have police everywhere,
it is difficult for police to get to mountain areas.
If you want to improve communication with the Black community,We have police here in the USA but every time there is a riot they just stand around and watch.
I don’t see how your argument or understanding in this matter line up with reality. Leads me to suspect that you may be a bot. Not sure but seems like it
Do you know the history of humanism? I don’t suspect that you do. As Thomas More is a Catholic saint, not a humanist. He was beheaded by Henry VIII for refusing to renounce the Catholic Church and submit to Henry.If you want to improve communication with the Black community,
I would suggest more Black women police officers.
St. Thomas More was a humanist and a Catholic.
God loves all souls.
He was a Renaissance Humanist, which was a Christian philosophy which sought to connect humanity to God. It is misleading and outright false to connect him to modern humanism.Thomas More is widely considered to have been a humanist.
Women can never be priests. Priests are fathers, women are mothers.The Catholic Church should have started making women priests in 1920.
We are now 100 years beyond that point.
That makes the Catholic Church look extremely conservative.
Liberal people are afraid to become priests.
Neutral people are afraid to become priests.
That causes a priest shortage.
I start with a warning not to jump to conclusions about what I'm about to say. All Christian women are priests, so are all Christian men. Peter writes in his Christian readers:Women can never be priests. Priests are fathers, women are mothers.
Denying that is a bad idea. I am happy that the Church has not given into the spirit of the age
Jesus is the same yesterday today and forever
A woman cannot be a father. Modernism is a heresy.
Maybe they look extremely conservative because they are (or to the extremely liberal appear as such).<Snip>

It is the teaching that was handed down in the very same Christian communities which preserved and handed down the New Testament. That same teaching is found wherever the Apostles established churches, from India to Africa and Western Europe.The idea of a set-apart sacrificial priesthood, whether of men or women or both, is not found in the New Testament.

Communities calling themselves Christian have gone far astray. Christ the Lord told us to not call anyone in this world "Father".It is the teaching that was handed down in the very same Christian communities which preserved and handed down the New Testament. That same teaching is found wherever the Apostles established churches, from India to Africa and Western Europe.
Ah yes the cliche cometh forthCommunities calling themselves Christian have gone far astray. Christ the Lord told us to not call anyone in this world "Father".
Of course we can.Women can never be priests.
Not necessarily. There are parallels between shepherding a congregation and parenting, but they are just that, parallels. They are not the same thing. And they are certainly not the same thing in any way which makes the reproductive biology of the person in the role relevant.Priests are fathers,
That is your opinion, but it is Catholic doctrineOf course we can.

Your further posts seem quite confused in terms of different understandings of priesthood. Parents might have authority in the home, but it is not as priests (either in the sense of the priesthood of all believers, or in the sense of eldership in the church).
