Ok. Then why would some one start a thread like this in the first place?

You all seem to be saying it’s useless (including the OP).

Stop policing us you are some random woman on the internet who has no moderator powers
humble yourself

Did you read the conversation before I posted my statement of confusion (not policing)?

It wasn't until the response by 2Vermont (which came right after my confusion statement) that people actually started talking about the OP.  I didn't write anything after that because they were saying things that made sense.

Ditto

Ugh. I am so frustrated and confused. My intent was not policing. Pax was throwing the heresy word around and I was just trying to help or guess at what the OP meant. I guessed wrong.  It doesn't really matter anymore.

Ma'am, I will be honest. You tend to insert your opinion - on most things - which I think is what draws most of the negative reaction (provoked or not). It can SEEM like you try to be a detractor (not saying you are). However I definitely think people like predestination2 are miles worse.

Historically, women have been seen as possessing and exhibiting greater virtue and piety.  In the modern world, with its radical rejection of traditional gender roles, and enabling of women to cast aside this virtue and piety in the name of emancipation and just "having a good time", this phenomenon has been reversed.  Women have temptations to sin that they didn't have before, and many (most?) of them crater in the face of this.  Men (those who haven't become cucks and simps, that is) are pretty much what they always have been.

However, it must be added in favor of the weaker sex that these purely somatic disadvantages are counterbalanced in women by a self-sacrifice and generosity in the service of God incomparably superior to those of men. In fact, all authors are forced to admit that women have the better share in the divine distribution of mystical graces. Anyone who denies this fact would be demonstrating ignorance of the history of Christian spirituality.

2. THE MARVELS OF GOD IN THE WEAKER SEX
Weiss, Apologie, X, conf. 23:
Although we should proceed with a certain caution in regard to the marvels of God within ourselves, we cannot approve of those who shorten the arm of God and believe that these things are no longer realized in modern times and that therefore they are to be found only in simple women. . . . What! Women! Are they perhaps weak beings, those women who so energetically restrained their passions, performed heroic mortifications, and served God with all fidelity? (Rivera, Vita S. Theresae, pp. 1, 2, 37). It is certainly not a reproach to them to say that they alone walk along the way of perfection with a manly seriousness. Nor is it any shame to Christianity that it fills with heroic women and virgins the vacancies left by men who have deserted. Should not those men feel ashamed of their weakness, rather than insult such women and depreciate the teaching which God gives to them, showing Himself to be great in little things and making strong that which is weak? (Blessed Raymond, Vita S. Catharinae Senensis, 2, 11, 12). Let no one attribute to himself the gift of God who gives to whom He pleases (Rom. 9:18; Heb. 5:4). And no one has any right to ask Him why He acts thus. God has given to men the priesthood, the mission of preaching, the public apostolate, and so on. Men have enough honors, obligations, and responsibilities. In what way is it prejudicial to men if God gives to women the task of ornamenting His Church and for this purpose bestowing on them certain extraordinary gifts? . . . In times when many men fled from the Church and only a few Nicodemuses came by night to converse with Jesus; when even the servants of the sanctuary were paralyzed with fear and could do nothing but keep silent and follow the dictates of carnal prudence; when the faith was despised and adherence to the Church had become an object of ridicule and when mortification and piety were considered old women's fables; it seems to us that such times were the most fitting for God to come to the aid of His Church by extraordinary gifts. . . . Each year that we approach closer to the end of time we are made to see more clearly that we have great need of saints and miracles. . . . Miracles can be compared to honor, which is the shadow of virtue, for a miracle is the shadow of sanctity. A shadow flees from him who pursues it and it obstinately clings to the steps of him who flees from it. The miraculous pursues the saints as if to recompense them for the solicitude with which they strive to avoid it.

Any woman who feels hard-done-by by this should consider that more men have been condemned as heresiarchs, or that more men die in war. Men are over-represented in both the extremely good/fortunate and extremely bad/unfortunate statistics.

Yes, now that you mention women who feel "hard-done", these same types are those agitating for ordaining females, because it's "unfair".

How or why "unfair"?  There are many men who might have longed to become priests (often for holy reasons) ... and yet they were not born intellectually gifted or their circuмstances (such as poverty, family obligations, lack of education, etc.) did not permit it, how is God being less "unfair" to them than to someone who's born female?

Apart from the opportunity for personal sanctity, which is all that matters in eternity, the rest is done by God mostly for practical reasons.  We'll probably be very surprised to find untold numbers of saints in heaven who surpass in glory many of those who were raised to the altars, glory in God's eyes, in reality, and in the only way that matters.  And much of their glory will consist precisely in their humility, the very unassuming and hidden lives they led, their accounting themselves as nothing because they accomplished nothing (noteworthy to others) while they lived, and they accepted it with humility.  Note, the opposite of the agitating feminists and others who shake their fists at God to complain about having been wronged by Him.

Our Lord Himself clearly spoke about how the LEAST in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater the Greatest Born of Women (i.e. those who were the greatest in natural virtue, e.g. St. John the Baptist).  What He meant is that you could give away every dime of your possessions, fast for 50 years, etc. ... by your natural powers, and it means nothing compared to a single act of love that takes 30 seconds and which is supernatural due to being moved by God and in fact the result of God acting in them with supernatural merit.

Compared to God, there's little difference between a glorious Pope and a guy who picks up garbage for a living.  In fact, if the garbage man thinks himself to be of no account, whereas the Pope lets his power get to his head and puff him up with pride ... the social order in Heaven would be reversed, where the garbage man will be "high society" in the glory of heaven, and the Pope lower class, thus Our Lord speaking about the first being last, the last first.

In this life, God has people play roles for practical reasons.  He wants some to be Popes, some bishops, some priests, and others laborers, peasants, cleaning manure from animal stalls for a living.  None of those roles really mean anything in eternity.  Our Lord rebuked the women who declared Our Lady exalted for having nursed Our Lord.  And, no, Bergoglio, that was not an insult to His Mother, since she also was exalted above all other human beings in terms of keeping God's commandments and loving God ... so Our Lord was just explaining that it isn't what we do, what our roles are in this life, but rather how much we love God in the real Kingdom, the supernatural one, that matters and counts for anything.  I'm sure there are many simple peasants in heaven above many popes (even the ones who weren't just outright damned), and many saints who are greater than many canonized saints even though no one has ever heard of them.  Well, they'll hear about them in eternity.

Secondly, let's just say that many female "mysical graces" are in fact the products of the female imagination and psyche, i.e. they're not necessarily genuine, but are the creations of their own minds ... so that too could explain the greater prevalence of such phenomena among women.

This is huge among N.O. women. At least from the stories I keep hearing...
