Robots

I just figured out the answer to the priest shortage and the refusal to ordain women.  Robots.  These mechanized robots will replace many human beings in the work force over time.  Robots work best if they do the same thing the same way in a repeat fashion. So program the robot to say mass and program the sermon to be given by the robot voice.  The voice comes from the robot.  A man or woman could write the sermon and program it into the robots computer for the mass. The Roman church wants conformity in the mass.  One mass suits all.  Perfect for a robot.  Robots cut down on costs.  No need to house or feed it.  Robots don't whine, nor do they want someone to spoil them or wait on them.  They could be taught to do weddings, funerals and baptisms.  A lay coordinator could program in all the particulars about the bride, groom, baby and family in baptism and deceased person at a funeral.  Many a priest has less of an idea than would a robot about who they are marrying, baptizing or burying.  Wait a minute!  I would be out of a job.  Cancel all of the above.
