Should nuns do it.

Should nuns do it.
On past occasions nuns have petitioned the Vatican to be raised from their subordinate position within the Church. At present the Vatican is having some problems in finding priests to replace an ever deepening hole in their ranks.
Would this be a good time for nuns to girdle their loins and have another crack at the Vatican. Would our new Pope have a kinder ear than the previous Popes? Is the Vatican ready to give the souls of nuns the same value as the souls of men or should it keep woman and nuns behind priests and silent?
If things are to be the same in heaven as on it is on earth, does that mean that they are also secondary souls in heaven. This concept sound more like Islam than Christianity.
Does God agree with this gender bias?

Actually the Catholic Church has no authority to ordain women priests. Jesus chose 12 male apostles in laying the foundation of the early church, and this has been a tradition which has continued since.
Women have contributed much to the growth and development of the Church. They serve today in various important roles like communion ministers, wardens, choir members, etc, and you may even find more women than men in many of these groups.
A most notable and recent example of a Catholic woman would be Mother Teresa, who today inspires lots of people with her selfless and charitable acts of love.

Exactly.
Jesus could have ordained His beloved mother, who is far more sinless than the Apostles.
-
He could have, yet he did not. I wonder why.
-
Could be that Jesus wanted his church to reach out to sinners rather than saints
"I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance." - Luke 15:7

God had design man to be the head of the family..women to subject to men and men to God..hence thats why men lead in such prayers and religious stuff..should there be no spiritual competant males in the congregation...a women can lead but must have a covering over their head..(think the islamic tudung for example)
women are in no way less significant nor inferior to men...think of historical women of great spiritual acheivements like rebekah and ruth..God does think higher of such women too...
why would mary be considered less sinful than the apostles??did she not offer sin offering to God as the others??is she not also a limitted sinful human like others??besides she will be unfit for the ministry work as shes getting old and got JC's siblings to take care of..let her r.o.c better than travelling around the middle east ya..

Who is she? Ipirate is talking about nuns.....who are you talking about? Curious....
Nuns do not have children and they give up their entire life to serve God......even when they are old. It makes no difference.
Great example that we all know is Mother Teresa......an Albanian.....did her formation in Ireland and spend the best part of her life in India....
Who are JC's siblings?? If you are talking about Jesus, He has no siblings in the form of borthers and sisters.....but only cousins.
