I kind of understand why this is being floated, I mean let's face it, virginity is a scarce commodity amongst women these days.

Ordained women deacons soon.

This one didn't move the needle for me tbh

There's nothing stopping women from being nuns who aren't consecrated virgins. Can't we have one thing left that means what it always meant?

>>676783

The Amazon Synod 2019 will approve women deacons, just watch

So destruction of tradition is fine as long as it's to increase the numbers?

The Church is not like a secular institution, it's not about power.

Don't project your will to power unto actual Christians.

Consecrated virgins are like "softcore" monks and hermits right? I see no problem with wanting to be a holy person at any point of your life.

The Church's tradition is flexible as long as the change is necessary and viable.

The difference between consecrated virgins and nuns is they don't live in a monastery, they're perpetually virgin but they live independently and self supporting.

>>676817

Lower standards for the sake of power are not necessary.

>>676783

That was a thing in old days, you know?

For reasons that are completely irrelevant in this age (nude baptisms and the like) and they were never truly "ordained" in the true sense anyway.
