Don’t hold your breath.
Women can and should be ministers. But they can never be priests. Beginning with the sacrifices of Cain and Abel and continuing throughout all of Judeo-Christian salvation history, there is no instance of a woman offering a sacrifice to God on an altar.
God has always limited the pool of people who are eligible to become his priests. The Old Testament priesthood was limited to firstborn (?) sons of the descendants of Levi/Aaron. So even a devout son of the tribe of Judah could not have become a temple priest. A rabbi, certainly, but a priest no. The priesthood of the New Covenant is limited to celibate men in the Roman rites and to celibate and certain married men in the Orthodox rites. So if a married man or a woman desired to become priests, they could not. God’s ways are not our ways. The reasons for His will are often inscrutable and beyond our understanding. We must accept them rather than seek to change them or even understand them.
Those who push for women priests have a fundamental misunderstanding not only of the priesthood but also of the nature of the Church. They’re pursuing an agenda of change/reform rather than holiness. They’re examining this issue through the feminist paradigm of power. They see Priests as being the figures of power within the Church and the denial of this office to woman as a way of excluding them from power. Power is a terrible lens through which to analyze the Church. Leaders are servants. The laity is the Church. Women can exert influence and if that influence is holy and an expression of God’s will, then it will have an effect. many women have been key reformers and influences in the Church. But secular analysts see things through the lens of power and feel that if women would have a say that the dogma and policies of the Church would be changed. But the Church is not a democracy. It isn’t run by shifting consensus. That works for Protestants who vote on what to believe, but it doesn’t fit the Catholic or Orthodox paradigm. The Church is a supernatural entity, not a human one. It is the bride of Christ. Despite all the manifest failings and shortcomings of its individual members (i.e. me and you) and its “official” representatives (i.e. the clergy and hierarchy) it remains first and foremost a divine institution, not a human one. God is immutable. Holiness, not relevance is the aim of his Church.
Woman have an important role in the Church today. Many of the positions of responsibility in our archdioceses are run by woman. Woman play an important role in our local parishes, today many (if not most) of the ministry positions (Lectors, EMHC, DRE, RCIA, Pastoral Council, etc) are filled by woman. Some parishes have to share priests for the sacraments, and lay men and woman run the business end of those parishes.
