the letter called for the ordination of women to the priesthood

No can do, mushheads.

ORDINATIO SACERDOTALIS

[Cronos]

My position -- the ordination of only single men is a discipline and one only practised in the Latin Rite of the Catholic Church -- not in the other rites. We should be open to having more Eastern Catholic Churches in the West with married men becoming priests, but in parallel.

i don't believe that just having married priests will ensure more priests -- look at the non-Catholic groups in northern and western parts of Europe, they too have a shortage

[Cronos]

My position -- Priestesses -- definitely not.

I support having more women Sunday school teachers, readers, leaders in the Church, in my current parish in Warsaw, and my parish in Bombay 2009, there were women lectors, administrators, bible study leaders, etc. and they do a very good job, as good as or better than a guy at times.
B maybe even give nuns the rights to administer things in the Church hierarchy. Ok, a radical idea, but I know a nun whose 75 years old and she's in the Vatican radio just off St. Peter's and she runs it very, very well. Why not have nuns in charge of some more things?

but the eucharist is more than that, and that must be restricted to male priests.
