The priest's gender is extremely important because he can't perform the duties of a priest if he isn't male. That is what Shakespeare would have believed and he would view the people who changed the gender if his priest characters as heretics, as do many orthodox Christians today--hundreds of millions of them actually. How arrogant are you to assume "this is what Shakespeare believed"? Hell, the world doesn't even truly know Shakespeare or his identity, or if indeed he is a "him". There's some massive assumption making in your posts all across the board. Have you even done any research at all into the concept of Shakespeare? The concept of female priests was an extremely marginal view in the late 1500s and it's quite uncontroversial to think Shakespeare, as a member of the establishment religion with possible Catholic sympathies would have held it unthinkable. <cite>KhanJohnny posted [p:905464672] in How libera...
