'There is "no compelling theological reason” not to ordain female deacons,' is exactly the same argument the Anglicans made. 'If this were true, the same could be said about female priests and bishops.' And this was the argument they made, once they had deaconettes!

Vienna Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, 73, follows the path predicted by Gloria.tv.
First, he wrote on Twitter (September 29) that he wished to [invalidly] ordain female deacons. After a few hours, he deleted the tweet.
Less than a week later he repeated the same statement in the Vienna diocesan newspaper. He claimed that the “question” of female deacons was “open” and openly contradicted the early Church and John Paul II.
According to Schönborn, there is "no compelling theological reason” not to ordain female deacons. If this were true, the same could be said about female priests and bishops.
It is a tactic used by heretics to pronounce heresies, to retract them, and then to state them again in order to accustom the faithful to false teachings.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
