In the Holy Orthodox Church we commemorate St. Thekla and St. Helen (mother of the Emperor Constantine the Great as "equal to the Apostles" but we do NOT have female clergy!!!
I think God is most mercifully telling women ... “You have enough on your plate. You don’t have to pastor the church AND raise your family AND help your husband AND take care of your elderly parents AND do all your church lady stuff [take meals to shut-ins, teach Bible School, help with funeral dinners ...]” What a relief!
But that still does not validate making some "equal to the Apostles" in the light of their credentials, (1Co. 9:1; 2 Co. 6:4-10; 12:12) and who did not pray to created beings in Heaven, among other distinctives of Catholicism (mostly in Romanism) that are not manifest in the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed (including how they understood the OT and gospels), which is Scripture, especially Acts thru Revelation.
