ASK FATHER: Can an ex-woman, a trans “man”, be ordained?

From a reader…

QUAERITUR:

With the increase of transgender people pushing their agenda, would it be possible for a biological woman who thinks she’s a he and has gone through the Sex “change” process somehow slip through the cracks and make it to ordination, or does the screening process to weed out such people, as such would not be able to be validly ordained?

This sex-change, trans thing is intrinsically evil.

Talk about your Self-absorbed Promethean Neopelagians!

A woman who undergoes this ghoulish process is, at the end, not a man.  She is still a woman, a seriously mutilated woman.  She can dress like a man, try to act like a man, fool some people (not as many as she thinks) that she is a man.  She cannot ever be a man.

They are to be shown great compassion, because they are deeply confused and no doubt in a lot of pain.  But their confusion and pain doesn’t alter reality.

Women cannot be validly ordained to holy orders.  An attempt to ordain any woman, including mutilated women, would be, without question, invalid.

Hence,

Women cannot be ordained.
She is a woman.
She cannot be ordained.

As for a “screening” process, it is hard to imagine that such a person would not be identified as such right away.
