In other words: "Hasta la vista beby!"
cherchez la femme.
It's strange -- truthfully speaking, I could never really argue with friends who would say: why not a woman priest? Aren't there nuns who are holy too. To which I really had no answer beyond that it was part of the Apostolic nature of the Church (which sounded hollow to my ears). But now, when we can actually SEE what such change has wrought, I can do nought but look in awe at the foresight of our ancestors. Yes, there are Holy Women -- in fact in the Catholic and Orthodox Churches we revere Mother Mary
-- but the results of women bishops in the Anglican communion seem dire: leading in a straight path to the rise of Gene Robinson.
