Bishop Erwin Kräutler – who is said to have been one of the key authors of the synod's working document – just repeated in interviews what he has written already in 2016, namely, that he is in favor of female priests.

Pope Heretic!!

Seems that most female clergy are lesbians.

And have poor commitment to the Gospel.

[vpintheak]

So men can’t get married so they must burn in their sin and desire; but women are A-OK?

[Mrs. Don-o]

Women’s ordination is impossible. These Sin-Nod people aren’t even Catholic.

[I want the USA back]

Whoa!
It was presented as an article of faith that the clergy must be male. What happened? Not even the pope has the authority to change that.

[stanne]

What happened is as mrs don-o says. These guys are not Catholic

[dsc]

“...open to female ordination...”

I think now I understand how Reagan felt.

Some years ago this same question came up. The BBC decided to interview the wives of Anglican clerics. They interviewed about six and the narrator said that their comments formed the gist of most vicar's wives.
They said that there simply are NOT enough hours in the day for a vicar to be
a good shepherd to his flock.
a good husband and
a good father.

They were ALL for a celibate clergy.

If women get ordained you will have "women's issues" front and center--bias, pregnancy, teenager troubles...cuz you KNOW that they WILL want the right to marry and have children.
I can hear it already.

And abort them if it would interfere with her “spiritual development”.

[Veto!]

I never wanted to be a priest. Never wanted to be a None either, though they educated me very well.

Veto!

So Germans, Jesuits and gays are the new church. Make a mess.

[Vigilanteman]

Doing something because it is trendy and popular is a great way to turn a church which claims a divine line of authority into just another church of men.

[laplata]

Most Liberal Catholics love this “Pope”. This will increase his popularity among them, IMO.

[Biggirl]

Amen and SECOND IT.

Remember,there is married permanent deacons, and deacons are in the group of holy orders.

[ebb tide]

The diaconate was restored as a permanent ministry by Pope Paul VI, on June 18, 1967, upon the recommendation of the Fathers of the Second Vatican Council.

[ebb tide]

"Then, in 1972, Paul VI, following the direction of Vatican II, issued Ministeria quaedam, which realigned these things for the Latin Rite. Tonsure was suppressed, and now a person becomes a cleric through SACRAMENTAL ORDINATION AS A DEACON; this was a change to a pattern of more than 1000 years standing! The Pope also suppressed the minor orders altogether, converting two of them into "lay" ministries no longer requiring ordination; he also suppressed the subdiaconate, shifting the promise of celibacy to the diaconate.
