Being female has nothing to do with her ability to learn scripture. Mother Angelica learned it quite well and is very pro life. With that said why can’t this woman? Why can’t most protestant female pastors? What is their deal?

I didn’t say that women are incapable of learning scriptures.

Nothing forbids this woman from learning scriptures. However the outlay of what the apostles taught us of what an assembly/church should consist does not include women pastors or elders. Mother Angelica I will let a Roman Catholic answer on. But yes she is pro-life.

The deal is Scriptures. Women are not to be pastors or elders.

1 Corinthians 11:3 - But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman [is] the man; and the head of Christ [is] God.

1 Corinthians 14:34 - Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but [they are commanded] to be under obedience, as also saith the law.

1 Timothy Chapter 2 11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

Titus Chapter 2

1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: 2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. 3 The aged women likewise, that [they be] in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 [To be] discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. 7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine [shewing] uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, 8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you
