Maybe nobody cares what a 20-something female convert thinks, but if the Church of Rome ordains a single woman to the priesthood I'm off to Orthodox-land never to be seen again.

For those who have forgotten, the consecrated priest acts in persona christi as he offers the sacrifice at the altar at Mass. I'll endure worse than some name-calling before I tolerate my fellow Catholics visualizing a female body in place of our suffering and tortured Lord. Like Hell I'm going to sit there quietly while the guy next to me can safely imagine the body of a woman absorbing the weight of all his sinfulness and spitting him back out a better, saveable human being. Best leave such a prurient fantasy where it belongs and nowhere near the Blessed Sacrament, shall we?
