Over 2,000 years ago, the Catholic Church was founded by some ardent believers and was hugely accepted by the pioneers. It had stringent rules that all members had to follow in order to be considered a faithful. With advancement in technology and the general acceptance of new trends, the church is continuously becoming irrelevant. Sexuality is one of the catholic issues that the church has abjured all appeals from the general public to embrace.
The Catholic Church has the highest number of faithful in the world according to statistics since its inception over 2,000 years ago. It has established itself as a voice in society that many look to when seeking guidance on important issues. Even governments have in the past resorted to wooing voters through the church.
Even though the church keeps on insisting that the act of celibacy was begun by Christ, several scholars have come forward with substantiated facts to prove that Christ did not do such a thing. This is a challenge the church is constantly battling and is yet to win. Surveys conducted in many catholic churches showed that members had no problem with priests having families and that this was the only way, cases of homosexuality could be eliminated.
A number of these cases have been swept under the table to blind the public. Despite these massive cover ups, several charges are being filled in courts all over the world against them. The church does not allow for its priests to be arraigned in court to answer to indictments something that continues to anger the victims and their families. Even when they are caught in the act, the holy house will work tirelessly to protect their own. Some victims have admitted to being bribed to remain silent.
The Catholics stance on homosexuality has been one of total intolerance. The sensitive topic is what faced the incumbent pope. He was charged with the responsibility of addressing the issue of men having sex with each other at a time when cases of priests engaging with young boy have resurfaced all over the tabloids. While homosexuality is today tolerated by many nations, pedophilia is unacceptable which is what the priests practice.
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.
