Todays scholars are smarter than the early church fathers.
He doesn’t like that passage and, poof!, surprise, surprise, he denies the cannonicity of it.
I tremble at the thought.
For every social shift man might want to make an “academic” can be found to claim some problem with the Bible. “Academics” must be smarter than the Spirit of God Who said that He would preserve His words.
The whole of scripture is consistent on this issue. The whole teaching is not dependent upon one verse.
Look at the qualifications for elders and deacons for example. They are presumed men. No allowance for wimmins in the role.
And as a wimmin I am fine with that.
Does Paul teach a hierarchy of authority of man over woman, or does he teach the full equality of man and woman in the church and home? In Man and Woman, One in Christ, Philip Barton Payne answers this question and more, injecting crucial insights into the discussion of Paul’s view of women. Condensing over three decades of research on this topic, Payne’s rigorous exegetical analysis demonstrates the consistency of Paul’s message on this topic and its coherence with the rest of his theology. Payne’s exegetical examination of the Pauline corpus is thorough, exploring the influences on Paul, his practice as a church leader, and his teachings to various Christian communities. Paul’s theology, instruction, and practice consistently affirm the equal standing of men and women, with profound implications for the church today. Man and Woman, One in Christ is required reading for all who desire to understand the meaning of Paul’s statements regarding women and their relevance for Christian relationships and ministry today. This work has the potential of uniting the church on this contentious issue.
There is absolutely no evidence of female ordination in the Christian Church or in the Jewish religion pre-20th century. There were female deacons but they were not ordained.
Another woman wanting to be ordained?
Numbers 12:14 And the LORD said to Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again.
Christ had no problem standing up to the religious powers that be, but Christ selected only men to be His apostles. He could have picked equal numbers of men and women to lead His Church, but He did not. Why?

Scripture is inerrant. It is absolutely immaterial whether Paul wrote this letter or that letter, or this passage or that passage.
If a letter were discoveted that was unquestionably written by Paul, it would not become part of “Scripture.”
Because texts become Scripture BECAUSE OF TRADITION. Without Catholic Tradition and Catholic liturgy, Scripture is impossible.
The ordaining of women was "added later".

Well, I believe anything I read in a publication as deeply Christian as The Daily Telegraph! Who could be a better authority on Christian texts? /off sarc
To answer the question, though, I’d trust the Serpent, before the Telegraph. They may be more “conservative” than other British rags, but that’s a very relative proposition.
