Is it possible for the US gov to mandate Catholic church to ordain woman?

… bread and wine which, insofar as i’m aware, are neuter.

Depends on the language. Ex. Panis [Latin, bread] is masculine. Vinum [Latin, wine] is neuter.

I meant physically not grammatically. (Any how I said bread and wine, not pan et vin. In english they are neuter.)

=Inego de Loyola;9082857]Before you go using that argument with people who disagree with you, I should like to point out that he said that regarding bread and wine which, insofar as i’m aware, are neuter.

Going from memnory here BUT I’m pretty sure it was a part of his OFFICAL Teaching on the matter.

ORDINATIO SACERDOTALIS
Pope John Paul II​

Apostolic Letter On Reserving Priestly Ordination To Men Alone

1. Priestly Ordination, which hands on the office entrusted by Christ to his Apostles of teaching, sanctifying, and governing the faithful, has in the Catholic Church from the beginning always been reserved to men alone. This tradition has also been faithfully maintained by the Oriental Churches.

When the question of the ordination of women arose in the Anglican Communion, Pope Paul VI, out of fidelity to his office of safeguarding the Apostolic Tradition, and also with a view to removing a new obstacle placed in the way of Christian unity, reminded Anglicans of the position of the Catholic Church: “She holds that it is not admissible to ordain women to the priesthood, for very fundamental reasons. These reasons include: the example recorded in the Sacred Scriptures of Christ choosing his Apostles only from among men; the constant practice of the Church, which has imitated Christ in choosing only men; and her living teaching authority which has consistently held that the exclusion of women from the priesthood is in accordance with God’s plan for his Church.”[1]

But since the question had also become the subject of debate among theologians and in certain Catholic circles, Paul VI directed the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith to set forth and expound the teaching of the Church on this matter. This was done through the Declaration , which the Supreme Pontiff approved and ordered to be published.[2]

I was merely pointing out that others outside of the teachings of the church (Such as women priests and those affiliated.) would not be swayed by the statement. It’s a little like quoting the bible at an atheist. I am aware of, and whole heartedly agree to, the churches teaching on this matter.
