Are there any lines in the play where the priest's gender is thematically important or commented on?

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.

You realise the Church of England now has female bishops, yes?

And many Anglicans and former Anglicans view that as a massive heresy.

Shakespeare himself would have shared that view, and he incidentally may have been a secret Catholic himself, who do not have male priests.

If you're culture must be to the exclusion of others, it probably wasn't a very good culture to begin with.

So then I guess liberal culture isn't very good since it excludes traditional religions?

See how that works?

Nobody sees how anything you say works. It makes much sense as facedesking a scrabble board and trying to construct a sentence from the result.

Well then make a Shakespeare play yourself and hire an all-male cast instead of complaining about female actors.

There were already plenty of female characters, as is the norm in Shakespeare's comedies.

Changing the priest was gratuitous and necessarily marginalizes any orthodox Christians in the audience who may share Shakespeare's religious beliefs, as it erases their cultural heritage.

do you want some cheese with that whine

Who cares? The head of the church supports it.

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.

Terrible analogy.

Driving a vehicle isn't analogous to changing a text.

We just as well should change the Declaration of Independence to state "all people".

Who the fuck cares dude. It's a play. Watch it and enjoy yourself without thinking everything is an overarching political statement because it probably fucking wasn't. Take off the tin foil hat.

You think changing the gender of the priest at a time when this is a contentious issue in Christian churches isnt a political statement? Maybe I'm wearing a tin hat, but you certainly must have a blindfold on.

Also, it was the left who promoted the idea that everything, especially art, is political.

Honestly it very well could be, and frankly, I could not care less with regards to your reaction.

Moreso, while I still doubt this scenario of yours is real, I realize I don't care if it's real or not. I honestly hope it is real, because the idea of a thin mind such as your own spending his Saturday in outrage over this is a perfect picture of modern traditionalism.

Dude, if you don't want to watch Shakespeare plays with women priests, don't watch them.

Do you complain about Shakespeare plays with motor vehicles in them? After all Shakespeare would consider them unthinkable as well.

Just because theres only 99% and not 100% agreement that this topic is spastic does not mean that its a contentuous issue.

There is a large distinction between cast diversity and actually changing the text of the play.

Next time there's a public reading of the Declaration of Independence, demand that they change it to "All people". We must be consistent.

It is obviously irrelevant what the author put on the page.

Do you take issue with the changing of the constitution via amendmends or the interpretative work of the supreme court that grants rights not explicitly mentioned therein?

If someone wants to do an interpretative piece on the declaration of independence, what would be the issue with changing the wording?

Never heard of interpretative works of the DoI, though, so youre being a dishonest, conniving little dwimmerlaik, though.

No I don't have a problem with amending the Constitution, a legal text.

The Declaration is different, as it is not a document with any legal meaning. It's a historical statement whose language has literary value.

I don't really care about "muh oppression" arguments.

The text is unimportant so long as the themes of the piece remain intact. That parts of the text are integral to the theme is immaterial when the issue is changing text that does not impact the theme.
