I am not a Roman Catholic, but I am totally against the ordination of women into the Holy Ministry/Priesthood. Look at the denominations that have female clergy. As the late Pope John Paul said, the church does not have the authority to ordain women to the priesthood. He gave three main reasons: Jesus is male and the priest represents Jesus. The teachings of St. Paul forbid women priests. The tradition of the church (the entire history of the Hebrews) in which Jesus only called MEN to be apostles.
