I don't see the point. If she's saved, she's a priest already.
1 Peter 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
Unless, of course, she just wants to make some silly political point. Ya think?
there is that too...
of course (and I AM NOT accusing), to some Evangical Christians, Catholics ARE NOT saved....
the difference is honestly lost on me. Half of my family is Pentecostal and the other half is Catholic.....
As I said, I will have to show this to my sis in law....she will find it interesting. She has encountered some resistance to her becoming a priest from a few morons....none of whom are in her family I may add....
Ya know God says something and some people act like it can just be ignored...I for one commit this sin so often, I do not openly rebel, but I certainly need 70X7! I forget that his word is RIGHT and there's NO other's that can be above it, especially not even my own reasoning or justifying.
It looks as though this woman and anyone that openly boast interpretations not condusive with the spirit of scripture are flagrantly rebelling and should be cast out until repentance. When you have the final word and authority on the subject and you try to turn it into something opposite by listening to a lie, that selfishness will eat you alive.
Hindus (if they read the NT at all) don't read it the way we do either.
Once you get through the headcounts, Protestants are remarkably alone in this world that holds women to be a separate species devoid of the fundamental right to fully participate in every venue of society.
Can you imagine how foreign we must seem to those guys in Iraq, or even the people in Israel.
Shortly Europeans will begin their long slide back into traditional points of view as the Islamofascists acquire citizeship, and then become the majority.
And folks wonder why it's taking so long for Jesus to return! It's this constant restarting of everything that keeps going on.
Amen!!!

Not so fast. Yes, by reason of our Baptism we can all spread the Word of God and bring the lost to the one, holy, Catholic and apostolic Church.
However, Catholics believe that through the Sacrament of Holy Orders where the man is specifically anointed to carry out Christ's work, is the mark of the priesthood implanted.
Other sacraments that leave their mark on our souls are Baptism and Confirmation.
