  To which you replied "Except NOT in the Roman Catholic Church....."
  
  You did not say "women are not likely to be ordained", you said "women will not be ordained" (and yes, those are not your EXACT words, but it is a realistic paraphrase). So, since you can predict the future, tell us what numbers to pick in the lottery.
  
  Ordination should be more about service than status. However, in the real world -- a place you apparently have only a vague connection with -- it is also about status. The men who would deny ordination to women are concerned about their own status. To quote Governor LePetomaine from Blazing Saddles, "We've got to protect our phony-baloney jobs, gentlemen."
