If women want to be priests...

If a woman wants to be priest...




... why can't I be a nun?


If a "progressive" Catholic disagrees, then women can't be priests. We have to be fair to [b]both sides[/b].

This all started when I watched [b]Sister Act[/b].

Just kidding...Jennie wouldn't like that.

You kidder! :

Well, then could women be monks/brothers? :

(Heck no! There is a reason they are called brothers! Same with priests!)

[Thy Geekdom Come]

I wanna go out on a limb here and say this:

Women can be priestesses.




...however, Jesus didn't ordain any of those, so it's a moot point...

[Sarcasm] No, don't you get it? Men are running the church when obviously women would do a better job! [/sarcasm] :

You can make your own order that wears Imperial garb for a habit...

I suggest you simply start chanting the psalms in falsetto. Perhaps that will allay your desire.

I don't take it as sarcasm, I take it very seriously. Women would do a much better job of running the church, and for that matter, the government too. It'll happen, just wait and see.

It can't happen. It's dogmatically defined. The Church does not have the ability or authority to ordain women. See Ordinatio Sacerdotalis, section 4.

Besides, even if women do have managorial skills that exceed mens (this is up for debate, but I think it's more complex than that), this doesn't matter. It's a vocation, not a job. The Lord calls those He wishes to qualify...He doesn't choose those who already are qualified.

[Brother Adam]

No it won't happen.

[LiL Kat Said]

i hope it never does happen

[zabbazooey]

I pray it never happens...
