The idea being he could become a Cardinal one day! <br /><br /><br />Fortunately (as regards women having souls) although most people in France would tell you that they are Catholic, a lot of them don't practise a religion any more.Anjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02562210585479814093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7802412924936375247.post-16999601907444298232011-04-08T20:27:04.989+02:002011-04-08T20:27:04.989+02:00Oh yea, one postscript.

I too got caught up in it. the debate was actually if woman should be included in the latin word homo (man) or not the council said yes they should and that was the end of that. Several centuries later while poking fun at a sect that took the bible literally a pamphlet was written to show the absurditiy of it, it was then spread around Europe and some people thought it was for real and countered it with their own writings. An anti catholic Baptist (which I am one-Baptist not anti catholic)got a hold of the writings and used it to incite people against the catholic church saying they didn't belive woman had souls. Now there are plenty of other crazy ideas that they argued about but the issues of women not having souls was not one of them. I hope this has helped clarify.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7802412924936375247.post-17150514782930803082009-11-16T12:19:00.266+01:002009-11-16T12:19:00.266+01:00Maven: that shocked me too.
