text: And there's both the catch and, perversely, the exit from this problem, if only those who are so upset would take it.
  
  There is no substantial difference between what a Protestant "minister" does and the common priesthood of the baptized Catholic. Any Catholic layman, male or female, can do what a Protestant minister does and is to some extent called to it by virtue of baptism.  We do not need titles or other forms of shiny badge to be ministers. The Protestant "minister" is not analogous to a Catholic sacerdotal priest except in that he does it full time and gets paid to oversee some resources of a congregation, which is really only a secondary thing for priests.
  
  There is nothing stopping these women who feel called to be ministers from doing exactly that. And if they want to do it full time they can raise funds, much like FOCUS missionaries (young full time Catholic pastoral ministers at colleges) do!
  
  But they want to be priests for some reason, yet the Eucharist goes unmentioned.
