What is wrong with the Catholic Church not allowing women to become a priest?
Why is that so many people have such a big problem with the Catholic Church does not allow women to become a priest? Frankly, I think it is a tradition and should remain so, and next to nobody is forcing people to be Catholic anyway. Should we get rid of every single tradition?

I joined the Catholic Church, because I love the tradition. I'm a woman and I believe that women should not be ordained to the priesthood.
Only one man can act in persona Christi. Persona Christi is a Latin phrase meaning "in the person of Christ" I respect the church, the structure, content, and I am Catholic.
Many women who have to struggle to be ordained, they are typically very disrespectful and wrong use of the word of the Pope, bishops, priests, or that someone disagrees. The Catholic Church is not a democracy.
1) What is the problem with the Catholic Church does not allow women to become a priest?
Nothing. It is a commandment of Scripture.
2) Why is it that so many people have such a big problem with the Catholic Church does not allow women to become a priest?
Due to the desire of some women religious authority and prestige associated with the office. This is understandable: the holding of such office of the church gives the individual the opportunity of doing "good work" that would otherwise be denied. However, it must be scriptural command …
3) Honestly, I think it is a tradition and should remain so, and next to nobody is forcing people to be Catholic anyway. Should we get rid of every single tradition?
Well, no. However, if * only * tradition, I hope the Roman Catholic Church to stamp it out. The need for clergy, and providing the opportunity to serve God more fully, are much more important than any mere "tradition" (eg, the traditional Latin Mass, which was removed because it was in fact a barrier to participation in the Mass). However, again over some mere tradition is found in a plain teaching of Scripture. Never ceases to amaze me that there are Christian sects that allow women and active homosexuals to hold church office - both a clear violation of the commandments in Scripture.
It may be unfortunate for women's rights that women are prevented from being pastors - but the fact is that Scripture does precisely this, and most Christians believe that Scripture is the word of God. I do not bother myself why God included with this restriction, it is enough for me to have done so.

The New Testament says that every Christian is a priest and can approach God directly.
There are no references in the New Testament to the "office of the priest."
So the question should be, "Why no church has yet served as a priest?"
Saint Peter (who was married) said in the Bible:
1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, who may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
… The Universal Church of Rome is run by a group of old men who dress as if you just stepped off a chessboard … "they" have over the millennia, altered, skewed, and skillfully "tweak" the Scriptures through their "dogmas, traditions, rules and regulations", catechisms and pseudo spiritual gymnastics that held in the followers of "the slavery of religion" (female monk called closing, priests called "father" and a man who is thought to be infallible) … "Yes" to continue word of God and not his "religious" nonsense "that" would fall apart … Men like Martin Luther and John Huss were at the forefront of the exhibition as a religious scripitual keeping the door …
really a lack of understanding of what exactly is the priesthood. The priest is for the groom at the wedding between Jesus and his Church, and he is the only animal (male of the species according to the law of the Old Testament) that could be offered for the expiation of sin that makes every Mass. How would a woman standing on the groom with the bride only point to condone gay marriage, no? The woman is not for the groom.
Yes, it's tradition that goes back to the institution of all men apostles. However, this does not mean men are better than women. They are just different.
I guess that's just people trying to break the gender barrier. However, it is a tradition. People need to respect that.
WWJD? What Would Jesus?
The Catholic Church currently teaches:
The Lord Jesus chose men to form the college of the twelve apostles and the apostles did the same when they chose collaborators to succeed in his ministry.
The Church recognizes herself to be bound by this choice made by the Lord Himself. For this reason the ordination of women is not possible.
For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, sections 1577: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt2s …
With love in Christ.
There is nothing wrong with not letting women be priests, Christ does not want women to be priests, came to Peter (Matthew chapter 15) that says something about the lines of, You are Peter and on this rock will build my church and evil will not prevail. or something like that.
If the woman who wanted to be preists would have gone to a woman … But very important roles for women in the Catholic Church.
It's like a girl is not to build body
a man is not supposed to give birth.
It's just how Jesus is for us, so yes, it's also tradition =]
Yeah, I mean, is not like the Christmas holidays and Easter is no longer marketed. This demonstrates that the church is so good in keeping the traditions.
They think it is wrong for women to be priests because of their gender and that the Bible says that women should remain silent in the faith.

Because they put the women and maintains their gifts to reach the people who really need it. Just because a tradition is no good.
I agree. Tradition is a good thing and too many people force their beliefs on others just to be politically correct, which is a pile of poop.
Because as all religions, its rules should change with the times of their religion or be lost in history like so many others.
That is why so many Catholics are leaving the church of another denomination.
orignaly and the Catholic church had women in senior positions at least as deacons. and use the priest who married so how can say you can not?
I do not see why women want anyway. Not being a priest be a pain in the @ $ $? But if they did, I do not care.
I think if you accept that acceptance of Catholicism programs
partly because they are ignorant, have little understanding of the faith ..
women are not priests, by definition … ..
the number of heads that turn when a man who is a nun ?????
Double standard
Um … because it is sexist.
These timeless laws should be changed with time changing.
U … but you can not change the Vatican.
I think u have a great vision to support women in this call!
Live free!
Religion is the bible sexist ….* draws * I do not read! (Really … NO)
Jesus said that we are all a royal priesthood
In the most basic level, the answer to the question is simple: The priesthood of the New Testament is the priesthood of Christ himself. All men, through the Sacrament of Orders, have become the priests (or bishops) to participate in the priesthood of Christ. And it involves a very special way: They act in persona Christi capitis, in the person of Christ, the Head of his Body, the Church.
Christ was a man
Christ, of course, was a man, but some of those who advocate the ordination of women insist that sex is irrelevant, that a woman can act in the person of Christ as a man can. This is a misunderstanding of Catholic doctrine on the differences between men and women, the Church insists that they are irreducible, men and women, by their nature, are suited to different, but complementary, roles and functions.
The tradition established by Christ himself
However, even if the differences between the sexes, as many advocates of the ordination of women do, we must face the fact that the management of men is an unbroken tradition that goes back not only to the apostles, but to Christ himself. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church (paragraph 1577) states:
"Only a baptized man (vir) validly receives sacred ordination." The Lord Jesus chose men (viri) to form the college of the twelve apostles and the apostles did the same when they chose collaborators to succeed in his ministry. The college of bishops, priests with whom we are united in the priesthood, makes the college of the twelve an ever-present and ever active reality until Christ's return. The Church recognizes herself to be bound by this choice made by the Lord Himself. For this reason the ordination of women is not possible.
Not one ministry, but an indelible spiritual character
Yet the argument, some traditions are made to be broken. But again, you do not understand the nature of the priesthood. Coordination is not limited to permit a man to perform the functions of a priest, but it gives an indelible (permanent) for spiritual that makes a priest, and Christ and his apostles chose only men to be priests Only men can become priests validly.
The inability of Ordination of Women
In other words, it's not just that the Catholic Church does not allow women to be ordained. If you are a validly ordained bishop to perform the rite of the sacrament of the exact order, but the person who allegedly ordered the woman out of place in a man, a woman is no longer a priest in the final rite of which she was before they started. The bishop of the action in trying to manage a woman would be illegal (against the laws and regulations of the Church) and invalid (ineffective and therefore null and void).
To coordinate the movement of women in the Catholic Church, therefore, never go anywhere. Other Christian denominations, to justify the law women have had to change their understanding of the nature of the priesthood to transmit an indelible spiritual character in the man who is ordained to the priesthood in a is treated as a simple function. But to abandon 2000 years of age, understanding the nature of the priesthood would be a doctrinal shift. The Catholic Church can not do so and remain the Catholic Church.
Catholic Christian
Priesthood of all men is biblical. Contrary to some peoples beliefs, the Church does not contradict the Bible:
Gen. 3:15, Luke 1:26-55, John 19:26, Rev. 12:1 - Mary is the greatest creation of God, was the person closest to Jesus, but Jesus did not choose to be priest. God chose only men to be priests to reflect the complementarity of the sexes. As the man (the royal priest) gives life to the natural woman in the conjugal partnership, the ministerial priest is the supernatural life in the New Covenant sacraments.
Judges 17:10, 18:19 - fatherhood and priesthood are synonymous. Micah says: "Stay with me, and my father and a priest." Fathers / priests give life, and mothers receive and nurture life. This reflects our Father God who gives the life of grace through the priesthood of her Divine Son, and Mother Church receives the life of grace and feeding their children. In short, women can not be priests because women can not be parents.
Mark 16:9, Luke 7: 37-50, John 8:3-11 - Jesus allowed women to join in their unique mission, beyond the glorification of cultural norms. His decision not to order the woman had nothing to do with culture. The writers of the Gospels is also clear that women participate in the ministry of Jesus and, unlike men, never betrayed Jesus. Women have always maintained the highest esteem in the Church (eg, the holiest of the Church and the model of faith is a woman, the constant teaching of the Church on the dignity of motherhood, the Church of understanding of humanity united as the bride of Christ, etc.).
Mark 14:17,20, Luke 22:14 - the language "the twelve" and "apostles," shows Jesus Eucharistic holy priesthood in charge, giving orders to men.
Gen. 14:10, Heb. 5:6,10, 6:20, 7:15,17 - Jesus, the Son of God, is both king and priest after the priest-king Melchizedek. Jesus embodies both the priesthood and monarchy parentage.
Gen. 22:9-13 - as announced, our redemption God chose to be secured by the sacrifice of love that the Son is the Father.
Matt. 26:26, Mark 14:22, Luke 22:19 - because the priest acts in persona Christi in offering to the Father, the priest can not be a woman.
Mark 3:13 - Jesus selected the apostles, "as he desired," according to his will and not according to the demands of their culture. Because Jesus acted according to His will was perfectly united to the Father, we can not criticize Jesus' selection of men to be his priests without criticizing God.
John 20:22 - Jesus breathed only the male apostles, the first bishops, giving them the authority to forgive and retain sins. In fact, the male priesthood of Christianity was a distinction of the priestesses of paganism that existed at the time. A female priesthood would be a return to non-Christian practices. The sacred tradition of a male priesthood and the Church has existed for 2000 years.
1 Cor. 14:34-35 - Paul says a woman is not allowed to preach the word of God in the Church. It has always been the tradition of the Church by the priest or deacon only (ordered a male) to read and preach the Gospel.
1 Tim. 2:12 - Paul also said that a woman is not allowed to hold authority in the teaching of the Church. Can you imagine how much Mary, Mother of God, would have been able to teach Christians about his Son Jesus in the Church? However, he is not allowed to hold this kind of teaching authority in the Church.
Rom. 16:1-2 - while many Protestants point to terminate this verse in the tradition of the Church, the priesthood of a man, Diaconis, like Phoebe, were assistants to the priests (eg the preparation of naked women for a baptism order to avoid scandal). However, these helpers were never ordered.
Luke 2:36-37 - prophetesses, like Anna, the woman who was devoted to religious life, but were not sorted.
Isaiah 3:12 - Isaiah complains that the priests of ancient Israel had their authority usurped by women, and this was at the height of Israel's covenant apostasy.
