As long as the Church keeps preventing the Lord from calling women to the sacramental priesthood, there is a fundamental imbalance, driven by patriarchal gender ideology, that is harmful to the entire body of Christ, male and female.  The vocation crisis is not about women, just as it is not about men.  It is about letting go of a patriarchal culture that is passing away, and allowing the Lord to call those he wants here and now, men and women, to all vocations, including the sacramental priesthood and the episcopate, without imposing artificial gender walls that are heritage from the Old Law (not the New Law!) and no longer make sense.  The sacramental priesthood is about service, not genitals. Ordained priests do #2 sitting down.  Why in the world is it that they cannot do #1 sitting down as well?  Allow the Lord to call women to the ministerial priesthood, and the life of the Church will be much better!
