Do you support women priests?

[Paidiske]

Let's imagine that a person comes to Church to repent. Suppose he committed a serious sin: sex crime or murder.

He comes to church and sees a female priest.

1) Do you think he trust a female priest or not?

2) If so, will a female priest be able to keep a cool mind and guide him on the right path?

Also one more point. When parishioners at liturgy look at a female priest, will they see in her the image of Christ or will they see only a woman in her?

1. In my experience (as a woman who is a priest) some people trust fairly readily, and some take time to develop trust. This is not particularly about gender.
2. Yes, of course.
3. The important aspect of Christ that a priest represents is Christ's humanity, not his masculinity.

Your arguments rest on the assumption that a man will not be able to relate to a woman as a priest, but in my experience that is simply not true. It can be a mental adjustment when people encounter a woman as a priest for the first time, but they soon get over it.

I also find your arguments about the Trinity deeply problematic but see that Rose_bud is doing a good job of responding to them, I don't need to repeat her points.

Children are the next generation of Christians.

To get children back in church
you need young women to bring their children to church.

To get young women back in church
you need women priests.
