The priesthood of Israel was exclusively male, as the levitical code emphasizes again and again by calling the priests of Israel the "sons of Aaron."

Christ chose twelve men as his Apostles, although he had many devout and dedicated female disciples. The Apostles replenished their college with men and named seven men as deacons.

The Apostle Paul underlined this quite emphatically when he asserted that women should not even teach the faithful (1Timothy 2:12).
