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.

A priest should always be a man. Kind of like, a woman can’t be a grandfather, an uncle, or a son; a woman can’t be a priest. No prejudice against women, it just can’t happen.

Not saying women aren’t capable, or intelligent, or anything like that. Just that a woman cannot be a priest. Doesn’t bother me. We are what we are. I am a woman. I cannot be a priest. Not a problem.
