Women as Catholic priests

Kim: Should the Catholic Church allow women to become priests or other types of church leaders?

Jesus: As I have explained elsewhere, part of my mission was to reinstate women to their rightful role. I also explained that women did not cause the fall of the human race, and therefore it is unfair and unnecessary to exclude them from certain religious activities.

As I explained in my comments on the spiritual cause of homosexuality, it is important that each soul attains balance between its masculine and feminine aspects. A soul cannot climb to the higher levels of the spiritual path without attaining this balance.

On an outer level, it is equally important that any organization attains the correct balance between the masculine and feminine aspects of human nature. This can most easily be done when the organization has the right balance between men and women in its membership and leadership.

In fact, it is extremely difficult for an organization to attain this state of balance if it is run exclusively by men or exclusively by women. So the short answer is that I strongly encourage a reform of church policy which would allow women to attain positions as not only priests but also high-ranking leaders.

If you take a look at the organization created by Mother Teresa, can you have any doubt whatsoever that women are fully capable of creating and running a spiritual organization? Yet I will say that even Mother Teresa’s organization would benefit from a better balance between men and women, as would the entire Catholic Church.

Kim: Could you envision a female Pope?

Jesus: Yes, I can indeed envision a female Pope. Yet I am aware that most Catholics would find this very hard to accept. This simply demonstrates how far Catholic Church culture is removed from my true teachings, my true vision and my mindset.

Let me say though that I do not envision a female Pope in the immediate future. Even if Church policy was to change tomorrow, it would take some time before church culture had changed enough that a woman could be elected as Pope. It would also take time before any woman could gain the necessary outer experience and mindset to be able to serve in this position.
