Fair enough. But again my original post stands. Why forbid women to become priests because of scriptural reason, when the church goes against it when it comes to priests being celibate?

Why forbid women to become priests because of scriptural reason(s),...

OK.

How is the Episcopal Church doing lately?

They caved to the arguments of the feminists demanding "inclusiveness" and look at the mess they're in now.

They ordained divorced and remarried men as priests.

They ordained women as priestesses.

So, if you include remarried men as priests, then women priestesses, why not an avowed and proud openly-homosexual man as a bishop.

Not to mention their new leader....

Are you simply not reading other people's responses? I mean seriously. You can disagree all you want but everyone just gave a pretty reasonable straight ahead answer.
