Do you think women should have the right to serve in priestly roles as priests or bishops, similar to what happens in some other Christian denominations?
The debate over whether women should serve in priestly roles divides communities of the faithful like an old dispute over dogmas. Supporters of change invoke gender equality, secular laws, and the example of some Protestant churches, where female bishops and pastors no longer surprise anyone. Opponents stress fidelity to the Holy Scriptures and the tradition in which the priesthood has for centuries been reserved for men. Conspiracy theories also appear – from an alleged elite plan to break the foundations of the Church to “spiritual engineering” aimed at changing its identity. Is this a step toward renewal, or the beginning of the erosion of the sacred?
