Worthiness has nothing to do with this case.  I'm as "worthy" (using your parlance) to be a deacon but the rules regarding women , at this point in time, do not permit it; thus, both the deacon and I have to serve the Church in other ways.  And "imperial" is an unnecessary pejorative in this instance.  This case is borderline "strawman" as a compelling argument for clerical abuse.  Sorry...
