“VATICAN CITY, June 23 (Reuters) - The Vatican on Tuesday reaffirmed a long-standing rule that only an ordained priest or deacon can give a sermon at a Catholic mass, rejecting a request from German bishops to broaden the practice and allow sermons by women or other laypeople.”
Once again a great example of why religion does not belong in the 21st century. No matter how tolerant and progressive they claim or pretend to be, there will always be something that shows they just want to adhere to their medieval rules.
And touch little kids. They seem to be keeping that tradition alive.
