Peter Kreeft has a very convincing argument against priestesses. The hour long lecture is found at:

Stop beating around the bush and answer the question posed to you concerning 1 Tim. 2:11-12.
Take the Pope out of the picture for a minute because we are talking about an entirely different subject matter in another chapter of Timothy that you claim to follow so zealously. This doesn't have to do with the Pope, or married or unmarried priests, this has to do with the role of women in the Church according to Timothy.
"Priestly celibacy is a matter of extra-biblical apostolic tradition."
That's right. Its a belief what those in Catholic Church practices. But its not Biblically based.
Thanks, I'll bookmark this so I can listen to this tommorow afternoon.
"I have shown another interpretation of the verse you cited that is consistent with priestly celibacy."
What verse is that? Are you saying that the Book of Timothy which is about the structure of Church, is not the authority upon which it should base itself?
Balderdash! See post #24.
Bingo! But neither is the insistence that priest must be married biblically based, your private interpretation of Scripture to the contrary not withstanding.
So I guess I should just shut up?
I think everyone here should stop responding to you until you expound on your own beliefs about 1 Timothy 2:11-12 which also explains about how the Church should base itself by NOT allowing women clergy.
Should I have my husband get on the thread and cite chapter and verse so a "man" can then teach those men on this thread who simply can't the read the Word of God for themselves and understand?
Whoa, do I feel for your husband. What a trip you must be for him. I'd hate to be him sitting at the dinner table participating in dinner conversation, which would end up being more like the Spanish Inquisition. Dear, can't you simply read Timothy for yourself and understand, DEAR!!!
Listen up here. DEAR!!!!!!!!!!
No, that's exactly what I want you to not do. I want you to answer the question directly about 1 Timothy 2:11-12 but you won't do it. You evade it like the plague.
"Bingo! But neither is the insistence that priest must be married biblically based, your private interpretation of Scripture to the contrary not withstanding."
You need big time help from the Holy Spirit in your life if that's your complete understanding of the Book of Timothy.
Again, I read the ENTIRE book of Timothy, do you?
My husband agrees with me completely on what the Book of Timothy says.
Yeah sure do and I know it backwards and forwards. I also know something else backwards and forwards. You won't give a straight answer on 1 Timothy 2:11-12. What's the matter? Are you afraid to respond?
"What a trip you must be for him."
I'm feisty, and he married me because I have that trait.
What?
"I also know something else backwards and forwards."
What is that?
As I watch paint drying on the wall, Marajade, once again evades 1 Timothy 2:11-12. Yeah, your feisty until it comes to answer that, then you turn into a meek little mouse.
