A “simulated” ordination is not real. Jesus only chose men as his Apostles. Unless Jesus was wrong. Which I suspect, is what people like her are trying to prove.

I don’t know that people are trying to prove Jesus wrong by female ordination — I’m not a proponent of female ordination, but Jewish society at the time wouldn’t have been able to handle female rabbis, which was what Jesus’ Apostles were somewhat akin to. Plus, more and more we’re learning that women had a much bigger role in the early non-institutionalized Church than they do now and were slowly pushed aside as institutionalization occurred. We know that at the very least there were female deacons.

Was that a reply to me? It does not seem to pertain. And if Jesus was wrong then there is no Religion and no Church only some colossal playacting.
