What Are Your Thoughts On Women Priests?

When I was out picketing for Women Priests, I discovered that among Catholics, there seem to be three different views on Catholic women becoming Priests. One view is of complete denial.
This simply can’t be so, because the Church said so. Another group could not seem to find any grain of relevance with this issue of women priests being connected to their own Faith life, in other words, why bother to get involved. And then there is this last group of Catholics who are fully aboard with this notion of women being priests.
Until now Women had no Past Religious Heritage, thus no Women Role Models to Follow.
If you perhaps are in denial over women priest’s former role in our early Church, would the fact of Mary Mother of God being a priest, would that make any difference to you? As well, for fellow Catholics who couldn’t see the issue of women priests in our Church, meriting any relevance to you, has anything changed now for you?
Being lied to by Your Church is a Blatant Betrayal of Your Own Trust.
It literally has made you, unable to consider the very truth of this issue. The Church will cite history or the tradition of a particular practice which it evolved from. No different from the issue of Women Priests, they were in our Catholic Church’s history until that was forever altered by Man-Made Law.
The hierarchy will contend that you can’t bring in a new tradition with a definite inference here about having to start a new tradition here for women. When in reality, bringing back Women Priests in our Church would not be starting something brand new.
In effect, it would be bringing back the former tradition of Women Priests which was taken away from them with a completely new understanding of the meaning of the term, Ordination. The new caveat of women basically not being allowed on the Altar forever ended their Ministry.
