Why not?sonicare

I was on the "women should not be priests side"
My reason being was that over the past 50 years, the delivery of mass has changed but not the person who has delivered it. I'm not against it, but I had to pick a side.

I think that females shouldn't be allowed to be priests, but my reasoning for that is that I don't think men should be allowed to be priests either.

Being a Priest also includes changing the bread and wine into the blood and body of Christ.

Aren't they? They are in protestant Denmark (and probably in a lot of other counties to). But I guess you are talking about catholic priests? Answer: Yup.

I know women that would make more capable priests than an actual priest.

Why does sex even matter, we were all created in god's image.

Though it's not really my problem, isn't that a form of sexism?

I don't mean to be sexist or anything, but I don't believe they should.  The practice of having male priests isn't to suppress females though.

Which, according to the Catholic Church, can only be done by men because the first priests were the apostles.  I once posed the exact question to a teacher, along with stating that it was one of the most stupid restrictions and that if the number of priests continues to decrease like it is now, the Catholic Church would readily contradict itself, change the meaning of the Bible (like they have done before), and say that women actually can be priests.  The teacher was utterly baffled, and could only respond by suspending me, calling my parents (who later got the suspension revoked), and then doing research to form her own opinion on the matter.

No, because even though God loves them, the church hates women.
