Default Women Priests Excommunicated

So how do you all feel about the Vatican excommunicating female priests and anyone who helped them become priests? There are a lot of mixed opinions. My own? Why not have women priests? I don't really care about tradition and it is a form of discrimination.

I think that the Catholic church needs to rethink their tradition, because female priests are just as capable as male priests. Now although I don't think it was right for the female priests to lie to be one, I don't think they should be excommunicated. That's really harsh.

I didn't hear the whole story. They lied to get in? Still, though, to just kick them out, and make sure no other women try to aim higher? Seems like the whole thing with women in the military.

I didn't hear the story either, but how else would they get it? They can't say they're women. So obviously some lying must have been involved.

They wanted to be priests so they lied about their sex? Big deal. It's about time women are accepted in anything they want to be in. It's so ridiculous. Reminds me of George Eliot (it's a girl).

If they hadn't been sexist bastards in the first place there would have been no reason to lie.

The Catholic Church really should change their traditions about priests so they can be either sex and be married. Though the Catholic Church isn't exactly the easiest changing group so it might be easier for the women priests to join a better denomination.

Church is a private thing, so they can do whatever they want. Ordinarily, I'd say let the women at least try, but it is their tradition, and it is pretty well accepted both religiously and otherwise that men are the "leaders". I mean, you can't really ask them why it is the way it is, because that's just how it is with religion.

Although the Catholic church also seems to ignore a few bible things like "dont have preists", so it isn't like you can really get on them for unfairly breaking the rules.

I don't know what planet you live on but here on earth, I don't accept that men are the leaders, religiously or otherwise. I don't know anyone who thinks that. It's insulting and sexist of you to say that.
