Lol of course we can.

She's a crypto Lutheran and she can't change my mind about that or any other thing
There are plenty of conservative Lutherans who want nothing to do with priestesses. A 'crypto-something else' perhaps.

The Missouri Synod and Wisconsin Synod do not ordain women. They are rather conservative.

Altar severs are a stepping stone to becoming a priest.

Why are there female altar servers?
The diocese of Lincoln, NE does NOT have female altar servers. We do great with vocations to the priesthood.

Probably the two things are related at least a bit.

There are dioceses out there so messed up that they intentionally do not try for vocations. They want the seminary numbers in the toilet so they can push priestless parishes and eventually women priests because everything is so bad.

By the way, Episcopalians also have a vocations crisis and they allow women priests and married priests. Somehow that doesn't fix the problem. What will fix the problem is faithfulness.

It's all in God's hands.

The man is supposed to be the head…so what if the man doesn’t always make the best and wisest decisions?
Then it becomes a lesson in patience and forgiveness.

This thread had some clean up done. Folks, not even Catholics can teach against the Catholic chuch beliefs in this forum.

I am hesitantly reopening this thread.

Hmm, after the clean up the thread makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Perhaps it might have been better to simply move it from OBOB?
They can duplicate it if they really wish somewhere else. In fact it's been done many times,

What is this supposed to address?
There was a poster who continually posts in favor of women priests. And this time did so in OBOB. So finally the subversive posts were removed. That's all.

And many more posts were removed to the point where @prodromos is correct. I guess the moderators got a little aggressive on post removal.

There were a lot of subversive posts by this one poster. Probably better to have closed and removed the whole thread.

Actually it would have been better to keep the thread closed. Doing that now.
