There may have been dozens of reasons why Jesus--as far as we know--didn't pick any female apostles. It was rough and dangerous terrain for traveling; he wanted to make sure no fraternizing among the group; he knew at that time the women would not have been listened to. I can think of many. The point is, he NEVER SAID women could not be priests. This interpretation came via the men living in an old-fashioned time who set up the hierarchy. It's time to make up for all the millions of women over the last 2000 years who have been called to the priesthood but have been denied their rightful spiritual path!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
