Why do some Catholics insist that one day there might be ordained female priests in the Catholic Church? Such discussions are a total waste of time given the release of Ordinatio Sacerdotalis by Pope JPII in 1994.

In brief, the Church does not have the authority to ordain female priests. This teaching is now part of the Church’s deposit of faith. It cannot change.
So why do some people still spend so much time trying to push something that will never be realized? A priest recently told me he wasn’t sure if women would ever be ordained as priests as “the Spirit hasn’t told me yet.” Gee, how about the Church’s guidance through the Holy Father?
Overall, is it due to bad communication and catechesis, or simply ignorance and arrogance on the part of some – or something altogether different?
