I love this sort of response, conflating Jewishness with gender.

Jesus chose the Jewish people to begin His Christianization of the whole world. They were "closest" to the truth in terms of their belief in a personal, monotheistic God, and God as Father.

In the same way that He guided the very early Church to base itself in Rome, so that Christians could use the established lines of rapid communication that the Romans had built...roads, the port at Ostia, pathways of commerce/trade.   It led to very rapid spread of Christianity in the early years, even amid persecution!

But for some reason the priesthood (which in Jewish times was a male role) was male, and remained male.
