IS MINISTERIAL LEADERSHIP OF WOMEN IN THE CHURCH IN THE OFFING?
By Sir Fosuaba Banahene
The faith that the Catholic Church espouses is founded on Christ who urged His Disciples to spread His message onto the “ends of the earth”. In carrying out this divine injunction, the Church allows herself to be guided by Scripture, as well as the ways, practices and modes of conduct adopted by the Apostles and the early Christian leaders.
It is on the basis of this that the belief of the Catholic Church is advisedly sourced from the twin pillars of Sacred Scripture and Tradition. The Church teaches that this is from Revelation. Dogmatically, Sacred Scripture and Tradition constitute an inseparable dyad. Most Protestant Churches, however, claim that Scripture alone is the source of Christian faith (sola scriptura).
