I think the justification for a celibate priesthood is greater than the justification for an all male priesthood. There are no physical limitations that can keep women from a priestly vocation.

Except, of course, that the priest is alter Christus, another Christ.

That would be masculine...

Jesus was also a Jew - should it follow then that the only
true priest --- as an 'alter Christus' ---- must be a Jew?
A carpenter or mason? How far is the externalism/literalism pushed? Testes versus ovaries seems a very shallow and
superficial argument against female priests.
