Class, here’s a question:
Roman Catholic women do not want to become nuns why does anyone think they would become priests if they were allowed?

Johnny in the front row:
Because the Priests can move up the chain of command, teacher! Nuns cannot. At. This. Time.

Bingo! The Roman Catholic Church is structured so that nuns are permanent second-class citizens. Accent on the word “permanent”. I don’t accept for a moment the old Church line that women are equals, just different. Baloney!

A priest might aspire to becoming a bishop, or even a cardinal. But a nun is always a nun. And maybe a lucky nun could become a Mother Superior. But wait. Even a Mother Superior is inferior to the newest priest.

Ant that, friends and neighbors, is the correct answer. The Priesthood is all about proclaiming the Gospel and serving the community. A Priest is first and foremost a servant of Jesus Christ and of His Church.

The wymyn who clamor to be prysts don't see it that way. The see (or think they see) Power ... and they want some. Like other leftists, they crave power, lust after power, seek power above all else.
