Sorry, not aimed at you...more at the Church. I'm comfortable with the men only priest rule, but the church ought to be more straightforward and say there are seven sacrements for men and six for women and explain why that's the case.
The reason the entire post was directed at you was just by chance. A number of posters talked about not changing traditions or rules and yours was just the one I happened to click on. My main point is that over the centuries and millenia, an organization has to evolve its traditions and customers (after much careful deliberation) but not its core beliefs.

And my main point does fall in line with yours, IF you believe that an organization sets up its rules and it is up to the members of this organization to decide if they will agree to them or leave and start their own group.
