It has the authority. It may happen, especially if the donations to the church keep coming from women. Women are going to want a quid pro quo for their contributions. I personally would not like to see female ordination, but then the church has done things I don't like in other ways, like basically destroying the mass by replacing it with the NO missae. Of course we have the 1962 missal but I don't like that one. Why not just go back to the one before the slaughter, the pre-Bugnini missals? All this "ordinary time" stuff is distasteful as well.
