You are in for a big disappointment. Stick around another 50 or 100 years. Priests will marry and women will be priests. The catholic church is not bound by the old testament. I am not male and female. I am male. Jesus did not have japanese priests and I can list a hundred other characteristics the group he chose did not have. . The omission of women in the original group is as much cultural of that age than a teaching of God. And for centuries the church as kept women out of a small portion of clerical life.

So let me understand you. Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial of one Being with the Father, was bound by cultural prejudices and succumbed to misogyny and bigotry. He, presumedly, did this because if he had chosen men to be apostles he would have been rejected by the Jews, been arrested, led outside of the city, and would have been crucified. Then his followers would have also been rejected by both the Jews and the Romans, and would have suffered 300 years of persecution. Wait, all of that actually happened.

It really makes me laugh when some people would have us believe that they are more just in regard to the treatment of women than Jesus Christ himself. If Jesus, who I remind you is God, had wanted women to be priests then he would have chosen women to be among his apostles.

The discipline on married men in the Latin Church being ordained could change. The discipline could even change to allow priests to marry (though that would be an utter novelty unknown in the history of the Church East or West).

But a woman can never be a priest.

The most she can be is an invalidly-ordained woman pretending to be a priest. No valid priest, no valid confession or Eucharist.

The devil could not be more pleased to hear such an abominable thing, nor could be more pleased that you are willing to spread such errors.
