One of the ironies of contemporary discussions about whether or not women should be ordained or not is the role Christ plays in the arguments against women’s ordination. William Witt, in
Icons of Christ, offers nothing less than very clever statement about this very issue (my emphasis):
The Catholic and Protestant positions thus provide contrary reasons for not ordaining women to church office. For the Catholic position, women cannot be ordained
because they do not resemble a male Christ. For the Protestant position, women cannot be ordained
because they do resemble Christ; in the same way, it is claimed, that the Son always submits to the Father, women must always be in submission to male authority.
