And why are you against a woman to be a diaconate?
I think it is high time women be brought into the church equal to a Priest.
I have lost faith in this church with it’s male run organization that has hidden child abuse by priests.
This would not be a case with women in the Priesthood.
You have so many gays in the priesthood that it has become sick and many people have walked away from the church.
Yes, it is time to bring women in.
Paul would have told you otherwise, and I would certainly listen to Paul before I listen to you.
Our Lord Jesus Christ limited the sacrament of Holy Orders to men. Do you have a problem with that?
“I think it is high time women be brought into the church equal to a Priest.”

This is to address only the issue of ‘equality.’
Eve bit the Forbidden Fruit because she wanted to be ‘like’ God.
Equal.
In all the history, using ‘equality,’ as a foil, dangerous, murderous events have taken place.
If inside the Catholic Church there are perversions then those inside are responsible for cleaning those perversions - wiping them off the map so they do not harm.
Adding more perversions will not help to remove the original perversions.
Women are every bit as evil and vile as men, in general.
We simply hide the evil a bit better, as it were.....like wearing make-up.
If you believe women in the Priesthood will be fine you are extremely ignorant of the history of Catholic Nuns.
Beatings. Rapes. Murders.
The nuns in the 60’s were an open indication of the Catholic Nuns turning to rebellion.
Only come the day both the Lost and the Saved see Christ together (and for the Lost, the last time), will we see what is in each man and woman’s heart.
Until then, however, remember we are Eve’s legacy and it was she who having knowledge of Good and Evil tricked Adam.
Even out of the Catholic Church and with my own misgivings of the Catholic Church, it is clear to see women are not suited for leadership.
As I said, I am only addressing the ‘equality’ issue.
No.
The Catholic Church has problems. There is a gay mafia.
But women pastors have hurt both mainstream Protestantism and Evangelical Christianity. Both have moved progressively leftward over the decades, paralleling their influx of women pastors, priests, and ministers.
The Bible says male and female he made them.
My mother explained it to me this way: God allowed men to become priests, because the most important job of having babies was given to women.
The modern world hates babies and want to make women into pseudo men, which is why they are pushing sexual perversion as normal, and contraception because making babies is the enemy. Women can do most jobs, but when they do, they bring their femininity to their job .
In case you didn't notice, churches that have women priests end up pushing this gender agenda. This is less true in non sacramental churches, where women essentially lead a prayer service, not the sacrifice of the mass.
Catholic women can teach and preach, (Mother Angelica comes to mind) and even can correct the pope when he is in error (Catherine of Siena comes to mind).
but the mass is a sacrifice and much deeper than a mere prayer service. The priest is taking the place of Jesus, the King, Father, protector, and priest. I hate to quote atheists, but there are deep, symbolic (dare I say Jungian) reasons behind this. It has to do with God's plan to see everyone as part of the Body of Christ, and sees sexual role models as part of the pattern that emphasizes the importance of family over selfish individualism. Which is why the PC who push women priests also push gay rights, contraception, abortion, and make the mass banal and non reverent.
