>any Catholic bishop who attempts the ordination of a woman or any woman who participates in such a ceremony, is subject to automatic excommunication.
What exactly is the problem with a female holding the job title that a male holds? Does it involve muscular physical labor that a woman can’t physically perform on average?
Serious question.
The problem is that a woman cannot be ordained. There’s no way to ordain a woman. The Church has no power ordain women. Jesus and the Church never did it and won’t do it now.
In the Catholic Church, the central focus and purpose of the service is not the preaching (as in many other churches) but the Eucharist.
And Catholics believe that in the Mass, through the actions of the priest standing in the shoes of Christ ("alter Christi"), the bread and wine become the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ Himself, for the benefit of His Bride, the Church.
So there's a profound ontological problem with a woman taking on that role.She cannot be a bridegroom, no matter how badly she wants to.
If you have to ask the question, you wouldn’t understand the answer.
Serious question.
Serious answer: ORDINATIO SACERDOTALIS
The priest is actually offering a 'sacrifice' albeit unbloody it's still sacrificial. Women shouldn't concern themselves with standing on an altar sacrificing.
Jesus Christ chose as his diciples, as well as the leader he left behind to continue his Church on earth, all men. There was, of course, a reason for this as these single men would devote their lives to sacrifice, even death, to spread the gospel of Jesus.
Priests today are to follow that example and devote their lives to Jesus Christ and to their parishoners. Their role in the priestly life is to set an example for others and not allow their minds to dwell on filthy things like fondling little children. Those priests are destined to spend an eternity in hell after they get that millstone from around their necks.
Women have a different role in a proper society.
They are to bear and rear children, unless they too have entered Church life as a nun, and provide the warmth and comfort that a family deserves in a Christian home.
The sin today is that women want to dress like men and do men things like fighting a faceless enemy in a trench on the front lines. There is something radically wrong with this. A nation that puts their women in combat situations isn't worth defending.
Speaking of defending. We haven't defended our nation for what seems to be like eons.
I realize this is a rather lengthy discourse on your wishing politically correct feminine things on the Catholic Church.
Next week I'll talk to you about why condoms, wanking, abortion, pornography and homosexuality are not good things.
Catholics view Ordination as a Sacrament. sacraments are dogmatic practices established by Christ to draw us closer to Him. In order for a Sacrament to be valid you must have the proper form and use the proper order. The Form refers to the substance (material) and the order refers to the method. While it is possible to use the proper order (Proper prayers etc...) for a female "ordination" they lack the proper form. They are not male. Christ established this by ordaining only men.
