It’s not an issue of fairness. The Church teaches that the Sacred Priesthood is strictly available to men. This teaching does not demean women in any way, rather this particular role in serving God is not available to them. It is not about exclusion, but about the example of Christ, Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition. Women can still serve the Church and people, just not as priests. This in no way demeans them.

I appreciate you taking the time to respond so calmly. I am well aware that religion is a very touchy subject around here, and am not trying to cause a problem.

But, look at it this way....

It’s not an issue of fairness. The Church Mosque teaches that the Sacred Priesthood is strictly available to men. This teaching does not demean women in any way, rather this particular role in serving God is not available to them. It is not about exclusion, but about the example of Christ Mohammed, Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition. Women can still serve the Church Mosque and people, just not as priests. This in no way demeans them.
