But in 1975, the Vatican, forewarning the Anglicans in effect, declared that the all-male priesthood was "an unbroken tradition" that is "based on Christ's example" and "considered to conform to God's plan for his church." If those words allow any leeway, the Eastern Orthodox Church allows none, holding that priesthood for women is impossible. The result: while one long-sought liberal reform has moved forward, another liberal dream has almost certainly been set back. -By Richard...
