Women deacons.  Well, it is a step in the right direction.  What needs to then follow is to get rid of the ordained priesthood and have deacons run our parishes.  I am serious - this bit about "ontological change" is just metaphysical mumbo jumbo trying to make ordinary people into demi-gods.  Yes, it takes special training and a person with special skills and attitudes to be a deacon/priest - but God does not put some special mark on them.  It is their devotion to God and faith and the support of those they love and serve that creates whatever mark there is on their souls.

And this thing about deacons/priests "extending the blessing of the bishop" goes a bit far, too, doesn't it?  Another attempt at creating human demi-gods, oh, one step up the ladder higher than the plain old priests.  Bishops have some special relationship to God and get to extend the blessings from God down through the priests? Is God's love only channeled through them or does it fall like dew and sunshine?
