>>”Any woman who seeks ordination incurs excommunication,” said Fr. Daniel Smilanic. <<
This statement bugged me — it may be true that any woman who seeks ordination is excommunicated, but it is equally true that any man who seeks ordination in a simulation is excommunicated. I really wish he didn’t just hang it on being a woman seeking ordination. The problem is not only that she’s a woman who wanted to be ordained - there are a lot of Catholic women who could say that — the problem is that she WAS “ordained” in a simulation, which is excommunicable for both men and women.
GREAT point!
