So they are labeling a brand new (and obviously flawed) AI as a priest, but women (who are human beings) still can’t be priests?
Sorry ladies, you’ve now fallen further down the ladder.
- Regular straight Catholic men - acceptable priest
- Gay Catholic men - acceptable priest (as long as they don’t get caught)
- Male converted Anglican priests - acceptable priest (in some scenarios)
- Catholic men with gross sexual habits - acceptable priest
- Flawed AIs - acceptable priest
- Corporations - soon to be priests?
- Catholic women - ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Come to think of it, it’s a bit surprising that a more woman-centric sect of Christianity hasn’t risen to any level of prominence in the US. I suppose it’s easier to transition into agnosticism or atheism than to form a belief system, but its absence is still surprising in the modern era. Or is it as simple as demographic shifts and the absence of power during relevant periods? Religion is gradually waning in most of the west, after all. The patriarchy potentially stole The Mome from us, and that’s kinda lame tbh.
I don’t think the vast majority of American Christians are anywhere near ready to accept a Christian denomination founded by and led by women. Which is a shame. I think such a denomination would have some interesting and probably beneficial perspectives to share.
But given how Christianity has been male-led from the very beginning, how it stemmed from another male-led religion, and how engrained into American Christian society it is for women to be docile, obedient child production machines… Yeah, that ain’t happening for a looong time!
It’d be faster to turn Wicca into a women led mainstream religion than to wait for another millenium or two for Christians to give women a leading role.

Is that actually the church’s stance? Like, has the pope ever said this?
What? Life said this.
I think you missed his point.
Lol not at all. Just because the Pope didn’t explicitly say this, it doesn’t mean that this is not reality for Catholicism.
Didn’t molest any kids, making him the best clergy member in the church.
It thought this was the new Vatican DLC for Civ VI when I saw the image, lol
Lol, it does have that vibe
If a Catholic AI won’t be allowed to officiate my wedding, at least Taco Bell will host it. So we’re still not far from Idiocracy!
It has made my day that this Taco Bell Wedding exists and that it is $50,000/hour for 25 guests and all you get is Flora Pop.
You can also borrow a sauce pack bouquet

Does AWOL mean something other than “Absent without leave”? Cuz that’s a weird way to describe a computer algorithm.

…aight so I’m definitely not a theologist, but… according to christianity, or catholocism specifically… is there actually any rule against using gatorade for a baptism? I’d assume it just says “water”, but there’s water in gatorade. Sure there’s also other shit in gatorade, but there’s other shit in tap water too. Even distilled water isn’t going to be 100% pure.
And if gatorade’s cool, where do they draw the line? Could you baptize a baby with honey? Or drop a steak onto the kid’s face (there’s water in those too!). Does it even have to be liquid water? Like what if you just threw some icecubes at the kid, or blasted some steam in its face??
So many questions!
It’s not just any water, it’s holy water. If a priest has cast Ceremony to create the holy water on whatever, sure. But why when you probably have liquid water tk hand? God might wonder if it’s very sincere if you’re just basically doing it for a laugh. Might take away your spell slots.
is there actually any rule against using gatorade for a baptism?
It’s better, cuz it’s got electrolytes.
Does it even have to be liquid water?
So like, ice X at 60 gigapascals and -120 °C?

It’s what souls crave!

Freezer burn yo baby
There was a picture going around during the pandemic of a religious leader performing a baptism with a super soaker. So, at least in some Christian denominations, that’s totally cool. And if Gatorade is okay…
Can you baptize people with a supersoaker full of piss?
“That’s not piss.”
- Alter boy
I think the writer meant to say ‘gone rogue’ instead of ‘AWOL’. Just poor writing skills.

CatholicTM brand Holy Baptizer 2000 brought to you by BRAWNDO! (The Thirst Mutilator!)
It’s got electrolytes
what babies crave!
seriously, are you gonna baptize that baby in toilet water?!
Christians are remarkably inconsistent about what is natural and good or unnatural and bad.
True, although I’m guessing "you can’t baptize someone in Gatorade’ would be something virtually all Christians would think.
Poorly trained AI if it didn’t realize to be safe in the priesthood you have to go after children.
What flavors did it deem acceptable? My denomination draws the line at Riptide Rush.
My denomination only uses riptide rush and we will bomb your fucking church over this
Yo I am also of the church of rush. 🟣
THATS THE WRONG SHADE OF PURPLE HEATHEN
We dont infight in the church of rush, friend. There simply was no other emoji applicable.
Why would you draw the line at the best flavor?
If Arctic Blitz isn’t one of them, there will be a backlash that makes Vatican II look like a mild disagreement.
