What are some of the Church's reasons for this teaching?

USCCB - (Office of Media Relations) - Ten Frequently Asked Q...
Ordination to the ministerial priesthood is reserved to men because the Church is bound to follow the example of the Lord, who chose only men as his Apostles. The sacrament of Holy Orders-which hands on their office of teaching, sanctifying, and governing-has always been reserved to men, in fidelity to Christ's example and to apostolic practice. The Church considers this constant and universal tradition to be in accordance with God's plan and to constitute a permanent norm.

What is the Catholic Church? teaching on stem cell research?

jwsoccergurly's Xanga Site
The Catholic Church is not opposed to stem cell research at all. With the use of adult tissue, umbilical cord blood, and other sources, such as bone marrow, blood, muscle, fat, nerves, and even in the pulp of baby teeth, there are no moral issues. The Catholic Church encourages technological advances and medical development however, what it calls for is reflected on the use of human embryos for stem-cell research and if it is moral and ethical or not.

Where has socialism existed?

Just da FAQ's
Same as above. Scientific socialism (ie: the rule of society by the working class) has never existed (except in embryonic form such as the Paris Commune of 1871 or the early period of the 1917 revolution in Russia). The words "communism" and "socialism" are commonly mis-used to describe a society in which a popular revolution against the ruling class and foreign imperialism results in a radical transformation of property relations and an improvement in the living conditions of the masses.

Do you have or will you have Bishops? What about Teaching authority/ Supervision in the Church?

ELCM Frequently Asked Questions
No we do not anticipate having Bishops other than our Pastors. The Word Bishop was a good word until it took on the Monarchical trappings and so we prefer the sense of "Pastor". The Office of Ministry is understood to be instituted by our Lord and the pastor is the Shepherd of the Congregation in accord with God's Placement through the Call of the Congregation. The pastor we believe is thus properly the President of the Congregation to which he is called.

How about the common teaching that the church is Spiritual Israel? Is it true?

Welcome To Believer.com Teachings
I am afraid that we will never be able to find the expression Spiritual Israel in the Bible. It is not there. History tells us that this expression originated with a man by the name of Origines. He was a Greek writer and teacher of the third century. It was a theory that God was forever thru with the Jew and now all the blessings and covenants had been transferred to the church. A few years later the Emperor Constantine saw in this a great chance to improve his position as ruler.

What is this "self-managed society" you are for? Is this socialism?

Self-management means having a say over decisions that affect you; it means having control over your life. This means people being able to collectively manage the industries they work in; it also means controlling the places you live in. Corporate hierarchies in industry would be dismantled and replaced by workers direct management, through democratic industrial organizations rooted in face-to-face meetings. To most people in the U.S., "socialism" means the government running things.

Infoshop.org - An Anarchist FAQ - H.3 What are the myths of ...
Ask most people what socialism means and they will point to the former Soviet Union, China, Cuba and a host of other authoritarian, centralised and oppressive party dictatorships.

Secondly, that they have successfully alienated millions of working class people from the very idea of socialism.

Infoshop.org - An Anarchist FAQ - H.3 What are the myths of ...
Some Marxists, such as the International Socialist Tendency, like to portray their tradition as being "socialism from below." Under "socialism from below," they place the ideas of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Trotsky, arguing that they and they alone have continued this, the true, ideal of socialism (Hal Draper's essay "The Two Souls of Socialism" seems to have been the first to argue along these lines).

H.3.3 Is Leninism "socialism from below"?

Infoshop.org - An Anarchist FAQ - H.3 What are the myths of ...
discussed in the last section, Marx and Engels left their followers with an ambiguous legacy. On the one hand, there are elements of "socialism from below" in their politics (most explicitly in Marx's comments on the libertarian influenced Paris Commune). On the other, there are distinctly centralist and statist themes in their work. From this legacy, Leninism took the statist themes. Which explains why anarchists think the idea of Leninism being "socialism from below" is incredible.
