text: Pandora is quite right about if she said no woman has ever been ordained to the Catholic priesthood. It is true that there have been attempts to ordain women to the priesthood but as the Church has no authority from Christ to ordain women such ordinations have no sacramental effect: they are in fact bogus. Throughout its history popes, councils and synods have declared this practice whenever it occurred to be an abuse. It always was an abuse in the past, it is an abuse today and it always will be an abuse.
