Why Women aren’t allowed in the Priesthood
Here’s an interesting tidbit on why Women aren’t allowed into the priesthood by Philippine Archbishop Oscar Cruz.
Because Jesus Christ Himself called only men to be His Apostles who in turn likewise has chosen only men to join them in their apostolic ministries. Notwithstanding His great love and profound admiration for His mother Mary, in spite of her sublime dignity as an individual and exalted attributions as a woman, neither Christ nor his apostles ordained the Blessed Virgin Mary, a Priestess.[source]
He also went on to say that despite this tradition and practice of the Roman Catholic Church, it no way means that women are lesser than men.
All along I thought it had something to do with Eve being tempted by the Serpent. Nice to have that clarified.
