Theoketos Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 [quote name='"John Paul II 'Ordinatio Sacerdotalis' (Priestly Ordination)"'] "Although the teaching that priestly ordination is to be reserved to men alone has been preserved by the constant and universal Tradition of the Church and firmly taught by the Magisterium in its more recent documents, at the present time in some places it is nonetheless considered still open to debate, or the Church's judgment that women are not to be admitted to ordination is considered to have a merely disciplinary force. 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." [/quote] Opinion in this matter is of no consequence, and it is not up for debate, if you are loyal to the Church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 It would be impossible for a female to be able to contract valid Holy Orders. Isn't that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudate_Dominum Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 yup. it isn't valid matter. it would be like trying to consecrate cashews at Mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phatcatholic Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 the Church has already declared that it does not have the authority or the power to grant Holy Orders to a woman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorphRC Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 The only way that would happen is if, God Himself came down, and said. "You can have women Priests". But then He'd be contradicting Apostolic tradition, and succession, and God isnt a God of contradiction or confusion, so No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
