What Jesus Didn't Say

New York City has a new archbishop, and because it's New York, the rest of us are supposed to care.

What gives the rest of us a reason to care is the first four paragraphs, showing how Dolan, when he ruled the diocese of Milwaukee, convinced a priest to recant his view that it would be okay for the Holy Church to ordain a woman.

Oh, the irony ... In Matthew 23:9, Jesus asks the disciples not to call any *man* father. He never asked them not to call a *woman* father ...

So in fact, ordaining a woman would not violate the stated wish of Jesus at all. What violates the stated wish of Jesus is ordaining men, if by "ordaining" you mean, "inviting others to call a person 'father.'"
