Essen Bishop Franz-Josef Overbeck, Germany, “can imagine that women would become priestesses.”

It will be mandated for the sake of charity. That's theology on your knees, peeps.

It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content.

He wants to destroy the Church in his lifetime. Unchaste priests, women priests, and from there homo/ lesbian priest. That's next.
