Well, The Pope has spoken on this matter and he has been firm that Women are NOT to be priests. If they are ordained in the Catholic Church I will no longer be required to attend as the Church will no longer be the Roman Catholic Church.

The Leaders of these churches that are permissive of radical changes to their form of worship should look closely at the relevance of churches that ordain women. Men do not get involved in the churches. When men leave a church, it dies.

The C of E should concern itself with the fact that 26 Million people are SUPPOSED to be apart of the church, yet fewer than 5% darken a Church Doorstep every week (Around One Million) and less than 10% go once a month to church services. Around 1.7 Million go to services a month.

Their problem isn't being uninclusive. It is TOO permissive.

There won’t be priestess. The Pope closed the book firmly and with finality — he said that making a decision on this is beyond the rights of any Pope — ergo, no Pope can change this in any possible way. There will always be only priests.
