There will never, ever be female priests. See Ordinatio Sacerdotalis, a statement ex-cathedra (i.e. infallible) from Pope John Paul II issued immediately after the Episcopal Church started ordaining women.

It is getting near time to head to the local indult Tridentine Mass.

I got all excited about the current wave of reforms but it looks like my parish just stopped them in their tracks. The current wave of changes includes kneeling after the Agnus Dei, bowing just before receiving Eucharist, priest must stay in the sanctuary, mandatory silent periods...and a few other minor revisions.

Women have taken over because men have fled. The same happened at the foot of the Cross.

Wow, you have "mandatory silent periods" -- that's great! I wish we had them. Instead I think we got mandatory constant mundane music.

Yes it is. It may be later than you think.
