Personally I do not have a problem with it in theory.
Both male and female were created in God’s image. Both I feel are capable of effectively preaching His Word. In Jesus’ time women held such low social status that nobody would have listened to them, so this would have been impractical.
However, my observations of other churches that ordain women led me to conclude that only the most radical far-left activist feminists were lined up to apply for the job. So that gives me pause.
There are already women clergy. They’re called “nuns”. They preach. Saint Teresa of Avila is a Doctor of the Church - that means “teacher”. There are many others. Mother Teresa of Calcutta had plenty to say. The main thing Catholic women religious CAN’T do is consecrate the Eucharist. That function is reserved for ordained priests, who are men. Otherwise, females are fully active in Roman Catholicism.
It’s not hard to understand.
While women could publicly pray and prophesy in church (1 Cor. 11:1–16), they could not teach or have authority over a man (1 Tim. 2:11–14), since these were two essential functions of the clergy. Nor could women publicly question or challenge the teaching of the clergy (1 Cor. 14:34–38).
Through holy orders a priest is called to represent Christ Himself, to be an alterChristus. For instance, at Mass, the priest acts in persona Christi-- "the priest enacts the image of Christ, in whose person and by whose power he pronounces the words of consecration. In this sense, an intrinsic part of the sacramental sign of holy orders is the manhood of Christ.
The reason is spiritual, not soulish.
Men don’t have wombs, so just because a particular man voices a desire to have a baby in his body, doesn’t mean he is righteous in pursuing that agenda.
The same thing applies to the spiritual gift of Pastor-Teacher. It is only described in Scripture as a spiritual gift to men.
A bunch of women seeking worldly power as a counterfeit substitute for what God provides in His Plan, simply places them in a state of sinful rebellion. The longer they resist Him, the more they degenerate.
