Ordinations of female priests in Rome

"Anyone who witnessed our ordination ceremony would realize that what was experienced there was a peaceful and gentle act, that the grace and affection that come from above and are poured out and overflowed was palpable."

"Nobody expressly prohibited our ceremony, nor was it clandestine. Our focus was precisely on showing, to the greatest number possible, that we are willing to put ourselves at the service of our Church, to bring to it the qualities and charismas that each baptized person receives for the good of the community."

"Will the Pope one day agree to meet with some of us fraternally so that we can give him news of all those people who love him from the heart and who suffer because they do not feel listened to or taken into account?"

"Anyone who witnessed our ordination ceremony would realize that what was experienced there was a peaceful and gentle act, that the grace and affection that come from above and are poured out and overflowed was palpable."

When the first Christian communities (late 1st century and early 2nd century, as attested by the Epistle of James, among other sources) needed to expand the staff for proclaiming the Good News brought by Jesus of Nazareth, caring for the sick and even healing them in his name, caring for the growing communities, breaking bread and praying within them, some figures were created, considered as successors of the apostles and called deacons, deaconesses, priests and presbyters, bishops and bishops .

I am sorry that the reader's vision is clouded, but a careful reading of the New Testament will give you information on this subject. It is enough to look at the Epistle to the Romans where we find a female apostle: Junia, who has been unsuccessfully attempted to camouflage herself in "Junias", a supposedly masculine and non-existent name . I do not give precise quotes on purpose because I believe that people deserve to access the same sources to scrutinize truths that have gone unnoticed.
