"Wherefore, in order that all doubt may be removed regarding a matter of great importance, a matter which pertains to the Church's 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 Church's faithful" (Ordinatio Sacerdotalis 4)."


i really don't know much about this, but i still can't believe in this day and age, that women can go through the same religious rights and ceremonies as males; baptism/communian/confirmation..etc. etc. But are still not allowed to be ordained in the priesthood...i've never really heard a ''plausible'' explanation for this..('find or create an institution that can ordain women') as i can only see it as a very positive move for the church in the long run....
