It's already happened to protestant churches. When I travel and attend a mainline church out-of-town, inevitably its preacher is some aging harpy dyke bedecked in a rainbow choir robe.

Lady preachers have taken over mainline churches. I've seen them in Methodist, Episcopal, and Presbyterian churches.

Baptist preachers are almost universally still male — thank God. Even nondenominational chruches will often have a lady preacher.

I know a woman who used to be a Methodist minister. She and her husband converted to Catholicism and now she works as a pastoral assistant.

That’s a sad record compared to Christ who had only men as apostles.

"It's already happened to protestant churches."

It almost always starts with that. It's invariably the first big step to full apostasy. One that happens it's a short time till you get the whole gay clergy, anything goes if you really love and believe it, something "having the appearance of godliness, buy denying its power" all intended to scratch itching ears, as the Apostle Paul put it. This Baptist exhorts you not give an inch on this one, brother and sister Catholics. As Governor pointed out, it's happened in in all the Protestant mainline denominations (or at least the largest part of them.) Once you've given up on that one you given away everything. Happens every time - the Holy Spirit is telling us something. It's a primary doctrine.
