It is impossible for women to be priests in the Roman Catholic Church. Impossible. Even if the Pope himself ordained them they would still not be priests.

It used to be thought that the Episcopal church and the Roman Catholic church were the most similar because of the apostolic succession, apostate though it is, and the virtually identical masses. Now it appears that even with the wide liturgical gulf, the Baptists and the Catholics may be the closest brothers because of the stand on morality issues such as right to life, and innovation like women priestesses and homosexual pandering.

Issues of faith and morals, not those related to church governance, are the common thread used to identify Christian bodies. Catholics fool only themselves if they think the Anglicans are like them because of their priests, bishops, archbishop and centralized ownership of church property.
