text: Once women are ordained, the claim that anything but our witness to the Resurrection is unchangeable is mute. Of course, we can’t just ordain celibate women with the same bent toward asexuality that many celibate men have (or the acceptance of it by gays running away from their sexuality, other gays simply honor the promise by not marrying their lovers). If we ordain women, we must ordain single and married, gay and straight (and, yes, asexual) women and men. We cannot join the sexual revolution in only one aspect. This focus on otherworldly chastity must end for all but those created to pursue it, because sadly Paul, while he dealt with women as equals, brought his personal sexual quirks with him into his teaching. We can honor and respect that, but we need not perpetuate it.
