ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE FIGHT STILL NEEDING TO BE FAUGHT

"Pope Benedict has said the question of ordaining women – often raised as an antidote to the priest shortage and to bring about more gender equality – is not up for discussion." From the Huffington Post today.

In the 19th century, local ministers were some of the strongest opponents of the changing status of women.
At the risk of upsetting my RC friends, I find it incomprehensible that any human finds it possible to deny over half the population [women] as ineligible for ordination just on the basis of their sex. It seems the height of arrogance to think God would not consider women as well as men.

Is it a problem with accepting that a calling from God comes with the authority to preach with confidence?
