Cardinal Tobin Wants Women Cardinals

Modernist Newark Cardinal Joseph Tobin doesn’t believe that there’s a "compelling theological reason" why the Pope couldn’t name a woman cardinal.

Talking to the New York Times (December 22) Tobin argued that in the 19th century there were lay people who were cardinals. At the same time Tobin conceded that “maybe my theology isn’t sophisticated enough”.

In the past cardinals were at least given the tonsure by which they became clerics. They were either created a cardinal on the condition of being ordained or they lost the cardinalate by getting married.

Since you are a Novus Ordo Cardinal, you perhaps identify disobedience to Church Tradition as a substantial career move? When Our Lord returns, your dishonesty will be shown for what it is. He is the Lawgiver, we obey His Laws. In love and strict discipline! You clearly don't identify yourself with Christ or His True Church. His Priesthood is a Male institution because He commanded it so.

That should be a "compelling theological reason" suitable for anybody of sound mind. Perhaps you're aiming to please someone else???

Then join one of the many protestant man made religions that suit you. Fake Orders, fake religion - you can do what you want. Clearly you are no longer a Catholic.

One can only hope that this spiritual illiterate will learn how to be silent.
