  26.    Could you please tell me what you know about the above positions,
  27. then?  I'll give you a hint in that all are priests.  But please tell
  28. us what you know about the nature of the priesthood.  Not some
  29. sarcastic answer, but according to how the Catholic Church defines the
  30. priesthood.  My guess is that you don't know anything about it.  Your
  31. comment implying that the priesthood is merely a "leadership position"
  32. seems to confirm that.
  33.  
  34.    Perhaps there is some reason, due to the nature of the priesthood,
  35. that women cannot be priests.  And if you really know nothing about
  36. the priesthood, then are you really qualified to comment on it?
