What would be wrong with female priests?
Take it up with the Pope. I’m not the Pope. Neither are you.
Did Womens Suffrage Change the Size and Scope of Government?
Women have a different nature than males, and are more emotional.
The Catholic Canon is based on Natural Law Theory (Reason and Science/Biology). We do not believe that males and females are interchangeable and it is evil to confuse little children and pretend that women and men are interchangeable which is simply confusing (and Marxism) and blurs the Truth.
The Catholic Church is only about promoting Truth-—never blurring it...esp. to young children by pretending human nature didn’t design female and males for particular “roles” in civilization. The structure of the Church to Christ and the “Bride” of Christ——that whole understanding of the Church on Earth is based on male/female harmony and God’s Design of man (Truth).
Catholicism is based on Logic (Faith and Reason).
Basic instincts of males and females are vastly different....but as we see with abortion, women can have their natural instincts perverted to such a degree, she will “believe” that it is “Good” and a “Right” to kill her own genetic offspring. That is the result of blurring “truth” in children’s moral formation and confusing sex roles—destroying the Nurture that should be part of womanhood.
“What would be wrong with female priests?”
For one thing, a housing problem. Just think of the gossip if male and female priests live in the same house.
Also, many parishes do not have the room for another priest’s house.
And think of the added temptations it would cause.
While women could publicly pray and prophesy in church (1 Cor. 11:116), they could not teach or have authority over a man (1 Tim. 2:1114), since these were two essential functions of the clergy. Nor could women publicly question or challenge the teaching of the clergy (1 Cor. 14:3438).
The Fathers rejected women's ordination, not because it was incompatible with Christian culture, but because it was incompatible with Christian faith. Thus, together with biblical declarations, the teaching of the Fathers on this issue formed the tradition of the Church that taught that priestly ordination was reserved to men. Throughout medieval times and even up until the present day, this teaching has not changed.
Further, in 1994 Pope John Paul II formally declared that the Church does not have the power to ordain women. He stated, "Although the teaching that priestly ordination is to be reserved to men alone has been preserved by the constant and universal tradition of the Church and firmly taught by the magisterium in its more recent documents, at the present time in some places it is nonetheless considered still open to debate, or the Churchs judgment that women are not to be admitted to ordination is considered to have a merely disciplinary force. Wherefore, in order that all doubt may be removed regarding a matter of great importance, a matter which pertains to the Churchs divine constitution itself, in virtue of my ministry of confirming the brethren (cf. Luke 22:32) I declare that the Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women and that this judgment is to be definitively held by all the Churchs faithful" (OrdinatioSacerdotalis 4).
