The kind of sexism where people who say women cannot become priests because they don't want women priests because that would upset their applecart. Deep down they SEEM to believe that they are spiritually superior to women. That's the message I pick up on these forums.

Well, you are picking it up on your own, cause that is not what is being offered.

Saying women can not be priests is not sexism, it is reality. The Church has said so.

It has little to do with my applecart. It has much to do with the way Jesus established His Church and the way the Church will forever be.

It is no more "sexist" than the Church's insistence that men can only marry women, and women men. It is simply an acknowledgement of the roles God created for the sexes.

To rail against this as some sort of slight or opression is to struggle against reality.

If you were a woman, how would you feel hearing that over and over? No matter what the rationale behind it all, it makes me feel bad and not as good as the men and I do not believe I am alone in feeling that way.
