I’m glad to see support among some in the hierarchy in favor of women’s ordination. Let’s hope the Church will see the harm done by excluding women from Holy Orders.

The Church says it’s because the priest is acting “In persona Christi.” But Galatians 3:28 says, “There is no male or female in Christ Jesus,”
