The commentariat’s chief disciple of Franz Rosenzweig has been exercised
by the changing of the guard at the Catholic Church. Like everyone else,
he has some
advice
for the new pope. The word from Spengler? Don’t open the priesthood to women.
In general Spengler is in favor of equality for women, if for no other reason
that if you don’t give women what they want they will punish you for it.
“Nonetheless, ordaining female priests at this moment in history would
be ill-advised.
A priest’s most important function is to forgive sins.
Women never forgive anything.”
But wait a minute, Spengler, old chum. You’ve got this upside down. It
isn’t priests that do the forgiving in Christianity. It’s God. Does that
mean that Benedict XVI can go ahead and give the girls the go code?
