And male nuns...
Vowed religious men are monks, friars, brothers, etc., depending on what order they belong to.
Follow the rules or leave.
What part of NO, a 2000 YEAR NO, do they not understand.
Considering Francis’ left-leaning statements, you can’t blame the reporter for asking. I wouldn’t have put money on what his response would be.
But, on gay clergy, his door is always open...
This Francis clown is going to change Church teaching.....NOT!
No can do...infallability.
Though he CAN speak his mind on Global Warming as that is not an infallible faith and morals point.
And there is plenty of evidence to back that assertion up
“Women don’t have the capacity to receive the sacrament of holy orders because they lack maleness.”
In other words no lesbian priests.
LOL
oh dear a fly in the ointment...
and this is the pope who expounded “human rights” and “equality” for days in accusation against the US...
(I ask...why on his plane in the way back? Is this just more media manipulation? He always was saying these things but they didn’t want to report it? Seems suspicious).
Christian priesthood in the bible: NO.
Christmas holidays 1965..I went to spend a few days with a fraternity brother. His parents were fairly important lay Catholics. We went to a party one night...big estate in Westchester. The guest of honor was Francis Cardinal Spellman. I, being Jewish, wasn't that familiar with the hierarchy of the Catholic church. Spellman was short, rotund, with white hair...he could easily have passed for Santa Claus. After dinner, he was sitting in the library, sipping a brandy, smoking a cigar, and fielding questions from several guests..sort of an informal Q&A. At the time, there had recently been several stories in the papers about whether or not priests should be allowed to get married. The Cardinal was asked his opinion. He paused, sipped his brandy and said, "If we allow them to get married, then what do we do when they want to get divorced?"
... but women can fight in combat why not be priests... /sarc
In the real priesthood (Levitical, that was set aside) there were no women. In the invented one, why not? Especially if the “Madonna” is more important than all of them?
Earlier in the week, Fr. Z posted this thread. Caution, may cause gagging.

‘Liturgy’ of Women’s Ordination Conference’”
Wow. From the video, I can conclude the following:
1. Membership is limited to ugly old feminists and men who ride tricycles with girl’s bicycle seats.
2. Musical sophistication beyond appreciation of the collected works of Sharon, Lois and Bram is a disqualifier.
3. The different colors of scarves will likely lead to discord: “All scarf colors are equal, but red scarves are more equal than others.”
4. The Pope is really, really correct in this call.
Based upon the Pope’s answers to the reporter’s questions on this flight, he is a bit more media savey and/or sticking to traditional answers that can’t be warped by the MSM. Good for him.
Thank God the old liberal dinosaurs are finally dying off
