Female Deacons? Christanon 01/25/18 (Thu) 23:30:57 fe7ece No.594008

Is /christian/ open to female deacons? Obviously no female priests/pastors or Bishops, but in regards to Diaconate, is it possible?

Dibs on the one in the lower right

Nothing wrong with female deacons, but if our current pope allows it then there's something behind it.

Besides, their function was the ministering of other women in baptism and such which is now a bit redundant since catholics get baptized as babies.

Slippery slope and also redundant

If you mean a deacon like male deacons today I don't believe so. Women can't receive the sacrament of Holy Orders.

Roman records show that the early church allowed female deacons.

It's fine.

*yawn*

this board has become the "we troll you" board for fedoras and edgelords

There are ALREADY (or have already been) female deacons even in apostolic churches
