Cardinal Policarpo: 'No fundamental obstacle to the ordination of women'

Read the story at Rorate Caeli.

Soon to read "the former Cardinal Policarpo..."

My guess is that he's either ignorant, a heretic, seeking media attention, or he's homosexual.

Or, quite possibly, all of the above.

Policarpo reached the retirement age for bishops in February. At 75 they have to offer their resignation. It can take many months for Rome to make a decision in regard to an elderly bishop's future.

This could be a parting shot by Policarpo. He was considered papabile by a few in the last election. Perhaps he is a bit miffed.

According to the linked article, the Pope has declined Cdl Policarpo's resignation and asked him to stay on for two years.

Maybe it takes two years to find a Portuguese speaking priest who is orthodox enough to become bishop.

Chris,

Ha! I guess our Lady of Fatima had it wrong then about Portugal always remaining faithful to the true dogma.

Right. Just like there is no fundamental obstacle to people's faith when the Mass is turned into something that's "all about us."
