Q391 - Given the Reemergence of Women’s Ordination Discussions

I think it is important and urgent that the Pope pronounces this divine truth in a formal, solemn way as a dogma because worldly feminism is penetrating the life of the Church in many circles and meetings, especially among those who hold bureaucratic and administrative influence in the Church. I call them the nomenclature, the apparatchiks of the Church. They introduce this worldly, anti-Christian feminism and continue to spread these heresies and errors regarding the so-called female ordination.

Therefore, I think it is an urgent duty of the Pope to confirm the entire Church in this specific truth and to proclaim it as a divine, revealed truth. This truth belongs to the constitution of the Church, established by God, not by man or by the Church itself.

The sacrament of Holy Orders is one sacrament only, not three sacraments. It consists of three degrees in some way, the Episcopacy, the Presbyterate, and the Diaconate. These are by divine disposition reserved for the male sex because this is the constant, universal, and uninterrupted testimony of the faith, the liturgy, and the rite of the Church.
