Catholicism and Orthodox Christianity

Welcome to the Catholic & Orthodox Group. This is a safe haven group where discussions about Catholicism and Orthodoxy take place in a forum free from gratuitous attacks or derision of religion and religious beliefs. There are other places for those who really like to do that. Our focus is on the beliefs and traditions of Catholicism and Orthodoxy. For the rest, welcome, and pax vobiscum. Peace be among you.


Constructive criticism of the politics of the Catholic hierarchy is permitted, but no incendiary attacks on the Catholic and/or Orthodox faiths will be tolerated.

I don't think your post breaks these rules, but we are a safe haven group, and since no one cares about that but us, we have to take it upon ourselves to remind folks.

btw, intellectuals like Catherine of Siena broke that glass ceiling a long time ago.
