Mother Superior can do no sacraments that I cannot do. She cannot offer absolution (contrary to your claim that she can hear confession). She cannot transubstantiate the Eucharist (I can serve as an extraordinary Euchartistic Minister). She can baptize if there is no other means to rescue a soul before death, but so can I. She cannot offer homilies.
dangus:
Thanks for responding to meandog. It's pretty much the answer I would have given about Mother Superior, except to add there no such position as the Rev. Mother Superior.
Having said that, I must admit I have a hard time explaining the Church's position on female clergy. My daughter left the Church because of this and other issues. She's a devout Christian, but with another congregation. Even my Dad, an ordained Deacon in the Catholic Church, could not convince her women should not be priests.
