Deep dives
Eligibility for Sacred Ordination
Only a baptized man can validly receive sacred ordination, as stated in the Catechism. This reflects the choice made by Jesus when he appointed the Twelve Apostles and highlights the Church's commitment to that divine selection. The ordination of women is not considered possible due to this historical and theological foundation laid by Christ. Thus, anyone aspiring to receive this sacrament must submit to the Church's authority, which holds the right to call individuals to the ordained ministry.
