For 2000 years the Church only ordained viri = “men”, and insisted the ordination of women was impossible. Not just Catholics, but all the ancient churches—Orthodox, Monophysite, etc.
You ordain women now, you are admitting that the Church was dead wrong for 2000 years.
Now you tell me exactly how you do that without saying the Church wasn’t wrong on any number of other things.

That didn't stop every last one of those churches changing their minds about Biblical inerrancy, Genesis, evolution, etc. Yet were I to say that by doing these things they had already shown that their churches are open to negotiation on everything else I'm sure I would be poo-pooed.
Just keep telling yourselves that none of that matters.
