“If women are being called to the priesthood then why is it only dissident women that are being called? Where are the women being ordained that have a preference for the extraordinary form of the Mass? Why do they always have a preference for Hippy stoles and not beautifully embroidered ones. Where are the traditionalist women priestesses who are being called?

Plus how comes the ‘women’s ordination movement’ doesn’t have any seminaries? They just ordain women without any real preparation. Not everyone who enters a real seminary goes on to discern that they are indeed called to the priesthood, so why it is that these women are infallible? Besides it is the Church that is part of the discernment process and not just an individual choice no matter how much strongly you feel about it. The way the ‘women’s ordination movement’ has approached the whole thing is more like a show and that they don’t really believe what they are doing in the first place.” — The Curt Jester.
