What I find strange about women who want to be priests is that they think that their role as women of the Church is somehow lessened by not being priests. That is false. Women have a distinct role in the Church and that is equal in respect to men, yet not the same. Who were the first to see the empty tomb? Women. They never left the foot of His cross, while His apostles did — women bring a uniqueness to the Church by being women. Men do that by being men.
It just goes to prove the emptiness of the woman’s liberation movement. Rather than affirm the beauty of being a woman that is a complement to man, they must reject all that makes them woman in an attempt to be like man.
Chesterton said something to the effect that he can’t understand why women who claim women are equal to or as good as men, then spend all their lives trying to be like men.
