The wave of modern Christianity has hit the world hard leaving in its wake changes that are hard to ignore. Many churches are increasingly accepting the changes by taking major steps away from the dark ages. Restrictions on sexual relations are some of the catholic issues that many say only a progressive pope will be capable of changing otherwise, the archaic rules will continue to be used to guide the obedient members.
The general public through the media and other governmental agencies have pleaded with the church to accept changes in society to no avail. This inflexible attitude has been associated to the massive reduction in the number of Catholics in the world. The churches reputation is also dwindling with the scandals that it is facing every day.
With all the major achievements experienced by the institution over the years, we would all expect it have way more members than it did when it was started. However, reports have emerged of membership decreasing by the day in the sub branches across the world a move that has been associated with the churches obsession with men and women role in society.
Catholics in the developed world are the ones who have become very vocal in criticizing the doctrines of the global church. They have no problem with the church ordaining female priests to supplement the dwindling numbers of their male counterparts. Females too have attended the bible schools to hone their skills in message delivery hence should be given the opportunity to showcase their ability.
Priests and fathers are people who opine on issues that affect their flocks so that they encourage them in any way possible even when all hope is lost. When the holy house demands of them to abstain, many knowledgeable citizens believe they are not in a potion to talk on such important issues. One can only offer advice on a topic they are well versed with.
Abortion has been disallowed by many governments for years until recently when some thought certain cases called for a woman to terminate the pregnancy. Instances where the mother is in danger of losing her life, abortion becomes mandatory so that she has the chance of surviving and maybe having other children someday. The church has however refused to see the logic in this and continues to campaign against it.
Women have played huge roles in history and serve church just as much as the males do. Consequently, many fail to comprehend the reason for the churches stubbornness when it comes to making them priests or officials in the holy house. Is it that they cannot guide the faithful as well as the men are doing? Other churches have made some of their women leaders in their churches and this is the reason for the decrease in population of Catholics.
Gender equality has been fought for by many individuals who believe women too deserve to occupy the same positions as men. Therefore, the world fails to understand why the mouthpiece of the Lord is still taking its time in accepting ordaining women into priesthood when other churches are already accepting them.
