My God would allow it, my God sees all people exactly equal to one another, my God is the head honcho..he knows that the Bible as we know it is not his creation, it is a mortal fabrication,so why should we read it so literally ?

I believe that God would encourage any person, be it man , woman, or child, to be a messenger of the word of God, after all, why would he deny anyone that right or choice ?

It works wonderfully well in Wicca and some of the other NeoPagan faiths. We've had female priests of phenomenal grace and power for decades.

No, I don't believe women should be priests. I believe priests are supposed to act like Jesus in a sense of proclaiming the gospel, blessing the Eucharist, and so forth. Obviously all haven't acted this way, but there are many good priests out there. Since they are standing up there saying the words of Jesus (this is my body, blood) then wouldn't it be strange for a woman to say that? Why would we have women as priests if Jesus was a man?

A women priesthood isn't something Catholics can "allow." It is not possible for a woman to become a priest because the priests Jesus established were all men. It's not sexism, it's fact. A bishop can not do something Jesus himself could not.

It's a calling to a vocation, not a career field. There are already many opportunities for women to live a consecrated life, if that's their calling. Personally, since I've been called to a vocation as wife and mother, it wouldn't matter much even if the priesthood opened up to women tomorrow. My vocation would remain the same.

God says no. Its not up to Catholics, the rules for being a priest are outlined in the Bible, in the NEW testament. A priest must be a married man.

I would just like to say that the idea of female priests is absolutely contrary to the word of God.

Nope.
Can';t happen anyway- it's off the table.
Women cannot be ordained, and I would have nothing to do with any woman who claims to be a Catholic priest.

Of course, the Bible says that ALL BELIEVERS are priests. Catholicism is an unsaved Babylonian pagan cult, and so they separate the people from the "priests".
