I am SO tired of this argument! We have seven candidates in seminary right now. My sister's parish has 8. The increase in vocations is God's answer, and the Church is not going to change its position on this.
Plus the Africans. Local parish has a priest from, I think, Nigeria.
Yup. There'll be married priests long before the Church considers women as a continuum of the Apostles.
People need to understand that the Catholic Church considers bishops as the continuation of the Apostles. They have in their bishops an unbroken lineage going back to St Peter and his apostolic bretheren. WWJD in regards to his apostles? Well, consider who Jesus actually chose....
The Church will change it's position someday, but in the meantime, it's a valid argument.
Unfortunately, like in the Episcopal Church (my church), most of the women at the forefront are more political than they are religious.
But that changes over time.
