Unpopular Opinion Of The Day
Arguing about the ordination of women is like arguing about whether the fish's bicycle should be blue or pink.
Not that I'm against ordination. It's a perfectly okay method of determining whether someone has a pastoral vocation and training them in it. It's just that it isn't the only method of doing so, and it has an unnecessary mystique for something which was borrowed from the administrative practices of the Roman Empire. The Bird of Heaven will fly where it will, and nobody can put it into a cage.
I guess that means I don't believe in the Apostolic Succession.
