I purposely avoid these threads, but I am going to clarify one thing here.
True, the RCA didn’t kick out Avi Weiss. There was a special meeting held to discuss it. The decision was that if they kicked him out, it would only draw attention to him, which they wanted to avoid.
Instead, they reaffirmed the decision not to accept YCT ordination as a legitimate semichah, so none of his students will be RCA members. They said either he’ll leave, or eventually he’ll die, and the RCA will be finished with it.
The RCA also put out many statements against ordaining women and other things that Weiss did.
OO may claim to be MO, but that doesn’t make it true. In fact, it only shows the fallacy in the argument posted many times – that people say they do things which are wrong “because I’m Modern!” YCT claims to be MO, and the RCA wants nothing to do with them. I can claim to be a Satmar chossid, but it doesn’t make it true. OO is a completely separate entity than MO.
That’s all I’m going to post about this now. I’m going back to avoiding these threads. Maybe I should avoid reading them, not only posting in them.
