Summary: The Church of England has elected its first female Archbishop of Canterbury. We outline the biblical reasons why the Catholic Church disagrees: from Jesus Himself and St. Paul.
The Church of England has appointed its first female leader—“Archbishop” Sarah Mullally. But is the ordination of women to the priesthood or episcopacy biblical? In this episode of Catholic Bible Highlights, Kenny Burchard and Catholic apologist Dave Armstrong take a hard look at Scripture and Church history to answer this pressing question. Drawing from the Bible, early Christian tradition, and the unbroken witness of the Catholic Church, they show why the sacrament of Holy Orders has always been reserved to men—and why this is not a matter of prejudice, but fidelity to Christ’s design for His Church. Many Protestant communities began ordaining women in the late 19th century, and the practice has only expanded. Even Kenny himself was once ordained in a denomination founded by a woman in 1923. But what about the Catholic Church? Can it ever ordain women? The answer is a definitive no—and this episode explains exactly why. If you’ve ever wondered whether women’s ordination is biblical, historical, or compatible with Catholic teaching, this discussion will give you clear, thoughtful, and biblical answers.
