Content: No one—male or female—has a “right” to be a priest. It is not like a governmental office that anyone can run for. It is a sacrament, and no one has a title to grace. It is an unmerited gift from Christ. This may strike some as unfair, but realize that God has given women other gifts that he has not given to men.
