Thousands of Southern Baptists overwhelmingly voted Wednesday to advance a formal ban on women pastors in the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, sending a clear message that men alone should preach to these conservative evangelical congregations.

    There isn’t correlation between an ecclesial issue and secular issue. Christianity forbids women to hold authority over men within the church. However, this doesn’t have anything to do with secular politics, ie, a female prime minister/president doesn’t contradict this. You can have no issue with female political figures or women in other places within secular environments, but disagree with them being appointed in Church leadership.

    Same can go for other issues such as same-sex marriage as well, adultery, premarital relations, etc.

      if some randos on lemmy have to explain to you the socioeconomic influence of organised religion on society then you sure as hell are not one to judge others opinions.
