Which conflicts with St. Augustine, which separates the office from the morality of individual as far as the validity of sacraments.  Orders is a sacrament last I checked.  Ordaining women, by the way, is proof of validity, not a down-check.  Rome may catch up but if it does not American Catholicism or Orthodoxy will.  The theoretical/theological models that seem to prove women cannot be ordained come off as so much sexism if examined objectively rather than by relying on the fiat of authority.
