Why the Roman Catholic Church, Women Do not admit to the priesthood?
The Vatican sharply criticized the plan of the Anglican Church to ordain women as bishops, describing it as a historic break with the Christian doctrine that separates even more Anglicans and Catholics.
The decision widens the divide between Catholic and Anglican churches, which in recent years have made efforts to advance the dialogue, despite their disagreements on difficult issues such as gay Anglican clergy.
The Roman Catholic Church does not allow women to enter the priesthood because Christ chose only men as his apostles, an argument strengthened in May with a decree punishing attempts to ordain women as priests with automatic excommunication
- Why in the Catholic Church, women can not become priests?
- Why in the Catholic Church are no women priests, bishops, cardinals, ECT? You might think that there is a reason.
- Why the Catholic Church does not allow women priests Become?
- Why women can not Become Catholic priests?
- Women should be ordained Catholic priests?
What is the question?
If you are looking for what I think, I'm with the Catholic Churches position on all issues. I am Catholic.
Jesus has not sent any women apostles is the reason that the Roman Catholic Church. Apostolic means Apostles Catholic means universal, and the Roman Church: the official religion of Rome. Because Jesus did not send women, women are not priests.
Anglican Church (Church of England) said that since Jesus did not prohibit the sending of women as apostles, women can be priest.
The same argument used to justify both positions.
Here are the facts. Ordination is a sacrament administered by the bishops. Only bishops can ordain priests and bishops. The first Anglican bishops were ordained by Catholic bishops, so any woman priest or bishop is ordained by an Anglican bishop is also a Catholic priest or a bishop.
Is the Vatican does not accept his own wife, priests and bishops.
Women have never been, quote, "as good as men" throughout history. The Bible gives us that impression, because in reviewing the roles of men and women, the men always seemed to be more powerful. The Bible and many other books that have proven historical evidence seem to think the same thing, so I guess the church is just going by the Bible - which, I must add, is the only thing that can go seeing as no longer have a Mortal Messiah.
I'm Catholic, and once I had this question to the local priest.The reason he gave me, is that Jesus chose men as his apostles and priests as they are supposed to maintain the teaching of religion to the people and follow the footsteps of Jesus, who became only men since the apostles were men.
It makes sense, really, and although I am a woman I agree with some people can understand it.however bad.They might think that the Church believes that women are somewhat less than men, but that's not the fact.
Also we women, if we want more we can dedicate our lives to God, like being a nun.
God bless you! X)
"Let a woman learn in silence with full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over man, but to remain quiet. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. "
1 Timothy 2:11-13
If you profess to believe in the Bible and follow Christ, how can you ignore the book that the Almighty had written for their instruction?

That is correct that the Church does not accept women as priests or bishops, I am a liberal Catholic and I agree with the Church and his reasons, my fellow Catholics have outlined the reasons why the Church does not allow it!.
Christ chose men to be His apostles. That is why. However, the fact that women can not become priests does not mean you can not devote his life to God and his Church.
They can do as nuns.
Pre reform Historic Churches (Catholic, and various canonical E and Assyrian Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox) all follow the example of the Apostolic Church and not ordain women to the priesthood or episcopate
Yes it is more or less than … So what is your question?
Are you asking if we agree?
There are several passages in the Bible where it is clear that women are supposed to be active in the top ranks of the Church. Certainly the fact that Jesus chose only male disciples is one of the strongest reasons. There is also a section of the Bible (I wish I could give you chapter and verse so you could see) that basically says that a woman entering a house of worship is to be silent all the time is there - indeed, if adhering to this rule will not do anything good for a woman to become a priest, if she is not authorized to speak once they enter the building. The Bible is full of misogynistic passages (such as allowing a husband who discovers his bride is not virgin stone to death on the steps of the house of his father). In general, the Bible was written over several centuries, when women were little more than slaves and property, and was written, translated, edited, re-translated, reprinted several times through the centuries by men who were not especially enlightened in terms of equal rights or equal treatment.
The Catholic Church can not change what Christ established
In the most basic level, the answer to the question is simple: The New Testament priesthood is the priesthood of Christ. All men who, through the Sacrament of Orders has become priests bishops (or) participate in the priesthood of Christ. And involves a very special way: We 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 teaching about 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 we ignore 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 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 they 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 decision by the Lord Himself. For this reason the ordination of women is not possible.
The priesthood is not a function but an indelible spiritual character
However, the argument goes, some traditions are made to be broken. But again, who does not understand the nature of the priesthood. Coordination is not limited to giving a man permission to perform the duties of a priest, but gives him an indelible (permanent) of a spiritual nature that makes him a priest, and from Christ and his Apostles chose only men to be priests, men can only validly become priests.
The impossibility of the ordination of women
In other words, is not simply that the Catholic Church does not allow women to be ordained. If a validly ordained bishop, were to perform the rite of the sacrament of Orders, exactly, but the person who allegedly were being ordered to a woman rather than a man, she would just be a priest at the end of the ritual of what was before it started. The bishop's action in attempting the ordination of women should be both illegal (in violation of the laws and regulations of the Church) and invalid (ineffective, and therefore null and void).
The movement for the ordination of women in the Catholic Church, therefore, never get anywhere. Other Christian denominations, to justify the ordination of women, have had to change their understanding of the nature of the priesthood, one that conveys an indelible spiritual character is the man who ordered one in which the priesthood is treated as a mere function. But abandoning the 2,000 year old understanding of the nature of the priesthood would be a doctrinal shift. The Catholic Church could not do and remain the Catholic Church.

People say that times have changed and now women can be priests because it is socially acceptable, given that women have more rights and opportunities for many today. Some people suggest that Jesus' hands were tied when he chose his apostles who became the first priests. I disagree with this argument.
The priesthood is not a question of rights and freedoms or equality and social justice, or reflect the dignity of the person to a greater or lesser degree. It is simply a gift that God gives freely to those who call at your service. Women are vocations within the Church, but do not include the priesthood vocations.
Firstly that Jesus did everything he wanted done, was completely free and not contain what is often caused an uproar. There was no social constraints that did not stop Jesus. It was around the lepers who were marginalized and avoided like the plague. Cold with sinners, who were also excluded and rejected by society, which would be prohibited from taking these people, much less go out with them. For women, Jesus allows your feet to be washed by a woman, women first not socialize with men, eating or even pray together … would not have been another opportunity for women to eat and hang out in Jesus in the house was in second place, a woman is in contact with him, that would be prohibited because it is not his wife. Third, this woman exposes her hair in public, would also have been a no, not in those days. And whatever one says nothing about the women directly, but remakes Judas in the perfume. It is clear that Jesus broke all kinds of social barriers. If he wanted, socially speaking, it would have been easier for him for a woman to become a holy priest for a sinner knows that being a priest. However, Jesus did not want women to become priests, is not their role, not his vocation in life. They have their roles and vocations, but the priesthood is not one of them. It is not even a free for all when it comes to men either. Jesus turned to some people who wanted to join him, because not everyone (not all men) is called to the priesthood, only those whom God calls to serve.
Finally in relation to the argument that Jesus could not choose women to be priests in his time, but now with more tolerant society of women who now Jesus wants women priests. I have to extend my argument that suggests that Jesus was not arrested by the social Clement of his time. Also just want to add another 2 points. First, that God became flesh and became a human being in the fullness of time, so we know that Jesus is God. We know that Jesus is the fulfillment of revelation. God that all he had to say and all I had to do was done in the person of Jesus for the salvation of humanity, the revelation of the Father, and for the Church to continue Christ's mission on earth while in heaven until he returns. All you had to do was done in the fullness of time, while Jesus walked on earth. Jesus laid the foundation to continue their work. If he wanted women priests would have happened when he was still roamed the earth when he made his Apostles priests. The first priests were apostles, but that does not mean that every priest should be an apostle, there were disciples who became priests after and during the early Church. There were many good holy women who followed Jesus that could have become priests, but even the community at the beginning so firmly guided by the Holy Spirit does not accept any women in the priesthood. Jesus came to do a job now, and defer to complete its work and then, when 'is the right time "was the moment that is why Jesus became flesh and came in humanity when he did.
Secondly, Jesus is God is omniscient and omnipotent. If he wanted women priests would have happened if he wanted to happen, not when society was prepared to accept the will of God. We know that Jesus acted against what society accepts in many other ways. The will of God does not expect man to accept the will of God must be accepted or rejected for all people now, because the works of God and desires are universal and apply to all peoples of all times. The salvation that Jesus offers is applicable to Cain and Abel, as it does to all the children born in 2013.
It is simply not God's will for women to become priests. Satan is temporary working women to take the forbidden fruit, to challenge what God allows, because the devil does not want us to follow God's plan for us, he wants us to trash God's plan and will use all possible means … especially in our pride that makes us think that this or that is my right!
P.S. there is more to this argument, then simply "Jesus took all male apostles." I tried to bring other arguments to the table. There are arguments that could be mentioned, but that's enough for now.
Roman Catholic Church is now?
So they are both witnesses and personal envoy of Christ?
… even that horn that had eyes and a mouth speaking great things …

The bitch who does not accept women - what irony! —

For all nations have drunk the maddening wine of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
… And the kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, mourn her, and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning …
No, no women!
Because they ignore the Bible.
Saint Peter says in the Bible that all Christians are priests.
1 Peter 2:5
You also, like living stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 2:9
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people who will show you the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

probably because, like other religions of Middle Eastern origin, women are not seen as equals, but rather subservients. strengthen this view is the biblical support you provided.
Given that most women view as second-class Christianity and the Bible backs up.
