16. Not all Christian teaching believe in the Virgin Birth of their Savior

An Episcopal confirmation class taught me that the Virgin Birth is not taught in their liturgy. Their Savior needn't have been born by a miraculous, "immaculate" conception. But the Catholic Church for some reason insisted it be taught as though it was. And then decide priests can't marry, nor can women become priests.

The deck has been stacked ever since. The only woman the church truly admires is a fabrication of their own demented thinking.
