I couldn't agree more with the understanding that humanity is about man and woman together, not isolated from each other; and this is so in body as well as soul: "The body, in fact, and only the body, is capable of making visible what is invisible: the spiritual and the divine." (St John Paul II, TOB 19:4; cf. 96:5)

Questions:

1. How can the patriarchal (exclusively masculine) priesthood make visible the divine "feminine genius" in Christ as head of the Church?

2. If the Virgin Mary brought us the Incarnate Word in her own body, as flesh of her flesh, why is it that the redeemed body of a baptized woman, of the same flesh, is not "proper matter" for priestly ordination?

3. Isn't canon 1024 an artificial contraceptive (perhaps even an abortifacient) of feminine priestly vocations that keeps making Christ partially invisible as a divine personal subject?

May the Holy Spirit guide the Church to overcome the patriarchal gender culture.
