“Many women feel pain because they cannot be ordained priests. What would you say to a woman who is already serving in the life of the Church but who still feels called to be a priest?” asked Kerry Webber, executive editor of the monthly magazine published by the Jesuits of the United States.
The Holy Father was unequivocal on the question of the ordination of women priests: “And why can a woman not enter ordained ministry? It is because the Petrine principle has no place for that,” the Pope said. “The ministerial dimension, we can say, is that of the Petrine Church. I am using a category of theologians. The Petrine principle is that of ministry,” the Holy Father said.
