Of nonexistent "womenpriests" and Christian Scientists

 Re the Amateur Exegete's May 24 piece, and as I commented at YouTube on the actual video, there IS no such thing as a "Roman Catholic womanpriest." There's women who want to be priests in the Roman Catholic church, but having wanting in one hand is like having shit in the other.

Yes, there is an organization that ordains such women, but such women are automatically excommunicated, like a dead man's switch, upon ordination. So, they're no longer Catholic.

And, of course, the interviewer, Shirley Paulson, asks the woman-not-priest about gnosis. AND? Beyond New Agey, which was my first guess? Shirley Paulson is a Christian Scientist.

And, this is yet another reason why, although I keep Ben on my blogroll to be reminded of, and cash in on, free ebooks, he's otherwise not very useful and not very critically minded.
