How about this: If the priest is a woman "it would be difficult to see in the minister the image of Christ. For Christ himself was and remains a man."  This says (1) the incarnation of Christ as a male is more significant than his incarnation as a human being; (2) that women are inferior to men, since they are not worthy of "imaging Christ"; (3) the faithful are too stupid to see Christ in a woman.

No, the reasons that women cannot be ordained is the hoary old "women are inferior to me". You traditionalists show your dishonesty in pretending it isn't, which is a major reason for rejecting your ideology.

"All your objections to OS and subsequent documents are reduced to, 'women can't be ordained because the pope said so', and you expect people to take that as Gospel just on your say-so. There is now no reason to investigate further because John Hobson has pronounced upon the matter."

I spoke about ONE document, OS. I said NOTHING about subsequent documents. You didn't investigate.
