I think a lot of men in the hierarchy of the Catholic Church would be on board with ordaining women. Fortunately or unfortunately, as Pope Benedict pointed out, the Church does not have the authority to do so. No pope can contradict Christ. So there’s an end to it, you ignorant old fool.

I'm pretty sure it was Pope John Paul II who made that ex cathedra declaration. By doing that, he declared the debate permanently ended. That ruling can never change.
