Women priests

Why Can’t Women Be Priests #4. Didn’t the early Christians ordain women?

Women and the Priesthood “The following quotations from the Church Fathers indicate that women do play an active role in the Church and that in the age of the Fathers there were orders of virgins, widows, and deaconesses, but that these women were not ordained.”

ORDINATIO SACERDOTALIS OF JOHN PAUL II TO THE BISHOPS OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH ON RESERVING PRIESTLY ORDINATION TO MEN ALONE

Why historic deaconesses will not translate to modern female deacons does mention that deaconesses did not receive Holy Orders in the early Church.
I think that these address the question quite well. Thank you very much.
 
Please be aware it is not up to us to refute baseless claims. The onus is on the person making such a claim to provide evidence to support his claim then we can discuss that. If your boss can’t do that you know it is just hot air.
Yes, I am going to ask him to give me a specific source.
