Addition/clarification: Of course, virtuous men and women should also be able to be ordained.  There is no biblical foundation in the claim against this.  What I mean to say is that I am all for resurrecting the practice of making virtuous persons with a well respected state of merits cardinals - irrespective of being ordained or not, and irrespective of marital state, sexual orientation, ethnicity etc.  True "hinges": supporting, guiding, empowering, nurturing, teaching, and at the same time being supported, guided, empowered, nurtured, and taught by, the church, the community of faith, with the Bishop of Rome "presiding in charity" (Ignatius of Antioch, Letter to the Romans, written in AD 117).
