Women can "preach the word of God" any time they wish.

(See Mother Angelica for a fine example.)

However, the Lord ordained only the Apostles to the priesthood. They were all men.

There is a symbolic argument as well. The priest, in the Mass, represents Christ the Bridegroom. The church is the Bride. You can't very well have a female imaging a bridegroom.

I don’t want to be married to Christ, I just want to worship him.
