At last the talk in Rome is that we can start talking about women deacons in the Church. Till recently even the discussion was banned. So what is it all about? “Too little too late” tells it all. What is the great thing about male priesthood in the Catholic Church? It is that the priest can bring down the body and blood of Jesus on the altar through consecration which St. Augustin didn’t believe reportedly. Who did that first: Man or woman? It was Mary, a woman who gifted the living Jesus to the world, that too without the help of a man, which outsiders question. In this context think of the irrationality and absurdity of waxing eloquent on the superiority of Male priests who bring down Jesus which cannot be rationally or scientifically proved. Since there is no scientific approach or rationality on the part of the church it is a waste of time discussing these issues with the clergy for whom what counts most are biblical myths, religious myths or theological myths. These churchmen should stop paddling in two canoes. james kottoor, editor
