Why can't women be priests in the Catholic Religion?
Because Jesus Christ gave no authority to the Church to ordain women.
Does the United Church of Christ support same-sex marriage?
The United Methodist Church accepts and values homosexuals as members, but does not conduct marriages between 2 people of the same gender, and does not allow homosexuals to be ordained. I have found churches that not only welcome gays and lesbians with open arms, but are actively seeking to integrate them farther and open marriage and ordination to homosexuals. As with any other issue, the attitudes of people within a church vary greatly depending on the congregation itself. Whether a specific congregation accepts or rejects homosexuals is not just based on the church's official stance, but also on the politics, history, and social climate of the church itself.
What is the Morman RLDS?
The RLDS church is officially called the Community of Christ. The RLDS/Community of Christ split with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the mainstream "Mormon" church) in the 1840's over a disagreement about who should lead the church after the death of Joseph Smith. The RLDS/Community of Christ still falls under the "Mormonism" category, because they believe in Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon. However, they are not a part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which is usually referred to as the "Mormon" church. While they have a similar history, they do have some pretty major differences: The RLDS/Community of Christ is based in Independence, Missouri and has approximately 250 thousand members worldwide. The RLDS differ from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in that are trinitarian, ordain women to the priesthood, follow the Revised Common Lectionary, use the Inspired Version of the Bible, put more emphasis on the Bible than the Book of Mormon, and do not perform special temple ceremonies (their two temples are open to the public daily for tours and prayer services). The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is based in Salt Lake City, Utah and has approximately 14 million members worldwide. They are non-trinitarian, ordain only men, do not follow any lectionaries, use the King James Version of the Bible, see the Bible and the Book of Mormon as equals, and perform special ceremonies (such as baptisms for the dead and sealing marriages for eternity) in over 140 temples worldwide.
