Women are not to be consecrated clergy

I don't know how many times I have to repeat this, and how much simpler to make it. The Catholic Church correctly identifies priesthood as the continuation of the example that Jesus Christ, first priest, established, which is the celibate male priest completely dedicated to God.

I'm tired of the un-Christ oriented arguments that these 'women advocates put forth.' It is all about Christ and there should be no priest who ever forgets that.

I don't care if one of the disciple's Aunt Angie's grannies' oldest daughter had a responsible position in the early Christian church. That does not change one iota that the priesthood is entirely modeled upon and follows the footsteps of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Here is the final statement I will blog on this subject, because it is tiresome and feeds the self pitying ego of those who push for 'women clergy' instead of being oriented toward the integrity of the Church. (The sight of women showing off their priest costumes disgusts me, and I do not mean to be unkind, but I can only be honest and truthful. I want to retch whenever I do not page fast enough and actually see one of their snapshots.)

If Jesus had intended for women to be priests, the Blessed Virgin Mary would have been heard from in the Scriptures as a voice of authority after Pentecost. None of you can claim to do what she did not.
