The Woman Priest

Woman Priest Ordained
Recently in Kentucky, a woman by the name of Rosemarie Smead was ordained a priest in a small group that has defected from the Roman Catholic Church.  She said she can no longer wait until the Catholic Church allows women priests and she must act now.  Also, she had to have been ordained by a priest or a bishop, who has gone against the rules of the Church.  Both of these people claim to be still be members of the Church, but has carried out the actions to be separated form the church, schism.  If Jesus had wanted a woman priest, he would have made a woman one of his apostles.  People argue that men were the dominant figure back then and Jesus could not have made a woman an apostle.  Jesus could have easily done this, he broke so many other rules and traditions, what was holding him back?  The answer is nothing, if Jesus had wanted a woman as an apostle he would have done it, but this was not part of God's plan.  Jesus was a man and all of the apostles were men and God intended it to be this way.  The Church follows God's will and only allows men to be priests.  Rosemarie Smead is going against God's will by becoming a priest, but she remain a nun.  As a nun, she can participate in God's will as fully as she can but the office of the priest is reserved for men.  One can only pray that she understands why God desires it to be this way.
