I also suspect that Jesus really would not care if a women were ordained to preach his word.

“Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that THE THINGS THAT I WRITE UNTO YOU ARE THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD.” I Corinthians 14:34, 35, 37

You can preach God's word without being ordained.

All Christians already have the ability - and responsibility - to preach the Word of God.

Ordained priests and ministers carry out the central sacraments of the Church: most notably the sacraments of Reconciliation and the Celebration of the Eucharist. They do many other things as well of course, but the responsibility for these sacraments is committed to them.

The Church has no problem with women preaches God’s word — many of our greatest saints have been women (see Mother Angelica for one). We don’t have women priests officiating for the simple reason is that we don’t KNOW what would God want on that issue and we don’t see fit to change it. As your statement that you suspect Jesus really wouldn’t care if there were women priests — we’ll wait until He comes and tells us that. We don’t want to go down the path of “reform” as it seems to eventually lead to the ordination of people like Gene Robinson....
