Power

A priest in England, in defence of men only ordinations, says that the priesthood is not about position, power and status.  It is apparently not about brains either as his argument is weak.  Many a bishop/cardinal is all about power, status and position.  Few of them have any pastoral background.  Many are beauocratic climbers.  There are a few men who would be uninterested in ordination if it were NOT about position, power and status.  Some want to escape poverty, or move up in a class society, or get a better education that would be otherwise denied them, or just have damaged egos.  This English priest says that if priesthood were about position, power and status, we would ordain women.  Go figure.
