Daffy you're a dead set goose.

Daffy Duck - completely irrational prohibition against women becoming priests

The church of rome (ostensibly) regards the bible as inspired. 1 Timothy 2:12 clearly prohibits women from having authority over men. As such, prohibition against female priests is actually quite rational .... provided of course one regards the bible as significant. Note however in a secular society there is no compulsion to follow any religious franchise, let alone the catholic one. Anyone who doesn't accept the rules / doctrine associated with a particular franchise is quite welcome to start their own.

Whether or not the church (in general, church of rome in particular) practices what it preaches is another issue entirely. There in fact numerous examples where catholics are in breach of their supposed beliefs (call no man father / thou shalt have no graven images / thou shalt have no other gods / there is one God & one Mediator etc etc), so its not unreasonable to ask what difference does another one make ?? We are talking about the false prophet after all.

Gillard, a female impersonator of Gough Whitlam, has set back the cause of women by several centuries. She has also given the old saying about 'promoted to a level of incompetence' a whole new meaning.

But, like a typical women, she will argue to the death and completely ignore the demolition job that she is doing on her Party.

If there are any people left in LABOR, men or women, who have a conscience or a brain, they will join together and dispatch Gillard immediately.

If they don't they will sink with her and LABOR may never recover.

Would you consistently use the term liar every time you mention John Howard's name? He has a far more dishonest track record than Julia Gillard. But of course, he was a he-witch and a Liarberal, so perhaps that excuses him. Or do you perhaps have double standards?

Candide I don't personally like the name calling as I think it takes away from the actual arguments people are putting.

I don't however think the Juliar thing is all that different to the Lying Rodent tag that was in common use for a long time by many opposed to Howard.

Candida,

Juliar's complete inability to do what she promises, or in some cases deliberately do exactly what she has guaranteed she won't makes her lying appear pathological, far worse than any other minister in living memory.

"The sun should rise tomorrow". I am not telling the sun to rise, just as I was not telling women what to think. I was predicting what intelligent people would most probably think of Juliar's falsehoods.
