Content: Though all believers participate in the one priesthood of Christ through Baptism, reception of the Sacrament of Holy Orders uniquely enables one to participate in the ministerial priesthood of Christ. This sacrament is the only sacrament that is able to be received by men alone. The Church explains that “the Lord Jesus chose men to form the college of the twelve apostles, and the apostles did the same when they chose collaborators to succeed them in their ministry… The Church recognizes herself to be bound by this choice made by the Lord himself” ( CCC 1577 ). Therefore, when it comes to the question of the ordination of women, it is not a question of permissibility but possibility. My Favorite Books on the Sacraments of the Catholic Church
