We had a female priest for a brief time in my parish, a personal slob, a very poor administrator, was unprepared for services and sometimes "froze up" in front of the congregation, did a LOUSY job with the confirmation class my daughter was in, and showed very poor human relations skills with many parishoners. She had us all fooled when she applied for the job, and when she showed up, we saw her true colors. The Vestry unanimously asked her to resign (in our diosese, at least, Vestries cannot "fire" priests), and she refused. The Vestry appealed to the Bishop who showed her the door, pronto. I am not in favor of women priests, too many messed-up, wall-flower women with problems, problems, problems they think religion will solve. Also many are on heavy leftwing political trips (ours sure was).
