Is the Vatican Against Female Religious Leaders?
The Vatican announced today that any female priests, as well as bishops who ordained them, will be excommunicated from the church. The Vatican states this rule was formed because Christ chose only male apostles, but some aren’t buying it, saying that that was the social norm for the time, and now the rule is outdated.

Is the Vatican taking things too seriously? Is the rule outdated? Should women have the right to be priests?
