There are no women priests in the Catholic Church.
Why, you ask? Because Christ did not choose any women as apostles, and the Catholic Church has always taken that to mean He di not want women in the top echelons of the Church. Jesus had disciples who wee women; Mary Magdalen comes to mind. But He did not make them apostles, so the Catholic church does not make women priests.
This fact must be kept in mind when reading this article. An auxiliary Bishop in Chile was forced to resign after he made this very point, saying that there were no women at the Last Supper and the Church has to respect thata.
From the article:
The archdiocese of Santiago did not specify the reasons for Irarrazaval’s departure in its statement, but said the pope had accepted the bishop’s resignation "in favour of unity and for the good of the churchâ€.
The bishop’s short tenure began with a television interview in May, in which he said there were no women seated at the table at the Last Supper and that "we have to respect thatâ€.
[...]
The comments sparked a backlash among women’s groups and critics of the church in Chile at a time when confidence in church leadership in the once staunchly Catholic nation has plummeted.
So, a bishop is removed for proclaiming Catholic teaching. The Catholic Church needs to stanbd her ground. This Bishop's resignation was unquestionably demanded by his superioors in the Church, which is outrageous given he was simply telling the faithful what the Church itself teaches. This is a disgrace.
The Catholic Church is suffering from schizophrenia. On the one hand they try to cling to the Biblical precepts and apostolic teachings, but on the other they want to be loved as the hip, cool parent, and seek to please the modernists. You can't have it both ways. Either the Church remains on a solid footing or it morphs into a progressive social club.
What it cannot do is walk the line. It's like walking down the center of a road; you are going to get hit.
In the Book of Revelations, Jesus addresses the Church at Laodecia. He says "you are neither hot nor cold. I wish you were hot or cold, but as you are neither i will spew you from my mouth." Catholicism has become like the Church of Laodecia.
