Virgins within the church are the model for nuns.

You will note however it does not mention they prophecising during the liturgy.

You will note I've yet to alege that 1 Corinthians 14 suggests women should remain silent nor that women do not have roles within the church (which they have many and critical roles) being priests isn't one of them.
