Whether or not women care about it (and they do), it's the principle of the thing. Gal 3:28 describes life in Christ as a spiritual transcendence of earthly estate. The church as visible expression of the kingdom-in-process is, of course, a monarchy every bit as political as any other human institution. By denying women entry to the priesthood the church effectively ignores the essence of Gal 3:28, among the most sublime in the Christian religion.

There really is no excuse.
