Some thoughts:
Leadership in the Christian Community, according to Christ, is not a leadership of power but of service.  The role of the leader is to do all he/she can to insure the faithful have what they need to follow Christ.  That they have become "powerful" is a contradiction and that "power" does not come from God.  We surrendered it to them and it is time to have them give it back.  The shortage of priests is not a shortage of vocations but a shortness of sight.

Christ told Peter, "Whatever you declare bound on earth shall be bound in heaven; whatever you declare loosed on earth shall be shall be loosed in heaven."  The leadership of the Church is very good at binding but poor when it comes to loosening.  There is good reason to believe women were present at the Last Supper and the command "do this in memory of me" was addressed to them as well as the men.  The prohibition against ordaining women is the product of human culture and not the will of God.
