Scripture |
| * Jesus
Christ set a permanent norm by omitting women from the apostolic team. * Paul excluded women from teaching and presiding in the Christian assembly.  |
* Because
of the need of the moment Christ did not choose a woman. But he made women, in
principle, equal partners in his priesthood. * Paul's prohibitions concern only local communities. He taught the equality of women in Christ. |

can be conferred upon women. |

against women. |

priests can adequately represent Christ who was a man. |

not adequately represented in his priesthood by male priests alone. |

has the power to ordain women. |
