A Contradiction?

[adrift]

JP Marat, all sacraments must have 4 conditions met for them to be valid: 1) right matter, 2) right form, 3) right minister, 4) right recipient.

For Holy Orders, according to the the same article you quoted, “Every baptized male can validly receive ordination.”

RESPONSE:

Then the article is in error on two points.

"For Holy Orders, according to the the same article you quoted, “Every baptized male can validly receive ordination.”

No. A validly baptized married male cannot be ordained.

Secondly,

There are a number of records of women being ordained deacons using virtually the same matter and form as for male deacons. Since women already have received Holy Orders now the dispute is only can they receive all three, deacon, priest, and bishop.

Wrong. Please go to dwightlongenecker.com/Content/Pages/Bio/ for one example.

We all know that. Just reading the article you brought up to us could have told that:

Though in former times there were several semi-clerical ranks of women in the Church (see DEACONESSES), they were not admitted to orders properly so called and had no spiritual power.

Again you are wrong. Please read again what I posted.
