The Synodal Confusion

In the linked article, the author voices the demand of the Synodal women, "We want to be treated as equals not only theoretically, in dignity, but also in church ministry."

As I tell my three year old granddaughter when she wants something impossible, I am glad you know what you want. Your next question should be "What is good?"

Later in the article, the author notes, "Who but women are blessed with the natural gifts of birthing, feeding, nurturing and teaching?". Yes, indeed, women are particularly blessed with gifts no man has. That aids their station in life. For reasons we don't fully understand, God made men different and gave men and women roles consistent with each's abilities.

The essence of Catholicism is "servium", surrendering to the One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church. That includes the traditions we don't understand and even what you don't want.
