Well, surely St. JP2 was slightly more astute than that!

Surely, (1) he started with the conclusion women can't be ordained because that was not in the Tradition as he new it. (2) To this he added the delusion he was taught in seminary that the content of Tradition has always been the same, and in principle will always stay the same. (3) Then he sought out reasons, "proof texts" to explain his conviction, and voila, 12 male apostles became a signal from Jesus as to what must be, forever. 

The 1960's scriptural commission conclusion that there were to scriptural impediments to the ordination of women was ignored. I figure that is because JP2 had deep convictions about V1, so deep that his assumed the Spirit's selection of him as pope, was the Spirit adopting his theological instincts, scriptural expertise be dam*ed.

On second thought, that's just a long winded way of saying , You are right, John!
