Regarding: ""Women deacons would be a possibility in my eyes, but it would naturally have to be discussed first as the historic tradition is very complex," he said."
- Yes, we all love history of traditions.
- Gianfranco should consult all the history that has been done to prove that women, because they are not men, may not be ordained, or that the women deacons in scripture, and early church, were not real deacons, for as the church came to understand, thanks to Aristotle via scholasticism, women are incomplete men. So, how can women be completely anything as ordained?
- Perhaps all that needs to be done is change the paradigm for action to 'all are created equal'. Doing so will at least shorten the time devoted to historical studies.
