    How is this not sexist?

    because of the Bible and Church Traditions

    “It’s not sexist because it’s a sexist tradition.”

    Religion is silly.

    💭 To consider antireligion, not atheism; https://www.arscyni.cc/file/antireligion.html

    “The harm of religion is historically evident whereas the presence or absence of gods is not. Ultimately, the continued existence of religion is predicated on the indoctrination of children and suppression of rational thought. Therefore, I am against religion but not necessarily against the idea of gods. For all we know gods are computer scientists and we are in their video game.”

      Let me spell it out

      the most common way to become a Priest is through a religious order

      When in formation, you decide to be a Brother or a Priest if you are in a male order

      and in a female order, you are a nun after formation

      some become Brothers and not priests as they want to support the Order and have more time to dedicate to Theology, Writing, Reading, etc.

      you just cannot be ordained into the Priesthood as a woman
