The definition of a "priest" is one who offers a sacrifice. Since Jayguess does not believe in the Sacrifice of the Mass, or the Real Presence in the Eucharist, or that the Mass is the Sacrifice of the New Law, why argue about women "priests"? Pointless male-hating anti_Catholic crap. No woman ever celebrated Mass. Impossible.

Pray for these misguided people.

I find it funny when people say we are dying out and will be in the ash heap of history. The Pagans said it, the Early Heretics said it, the Muslims said it, the Protestant Heretics said it, the Deists said it, and now the Atheists and Progressives say it. The gates of hell will never prevail over Christ's Church!

Excuse me, 1Direction. My arguments against the impossible concept of women "priests" is very well thought out, calm and direct. I am not hateful, ignorant nor an "idiot." Women DO NOT have the same motives as males who seek the priesthood. Males CAN be ordained, as the Church has for 2000 years practiced and taught. Women CAN NOT. Thus this vain, willful, anti-male, feminist lunacy is not the motive of any priest I have ever known, know, or will know. Impossible and sinful.

The church is dying? Sorry I can't hear you over 1.2 Billion Catholics.

Women who want to be priests want to minister for Satan? Thanks for all the facts and statistics you used in that remarkably well thought out argument. Women who want to be ordained have the EXACT same motives as men in most cases; they love God and want to dedicate their lives to Him. You say that women will "bless abortion" etc but male priests have doubtless done things that you disagree with, such as child abuse. In God's eyes, all are equal. Even ignorant, hateful idiots like you.
