I give up! Portugese Cardinal says there is no theological problem with women's ordination.

What up with that?
.
At Fatima Our Lady said "In Portugal the dogma of faith will always be preserved".
.
Yeah-huh!  But at Akita the Blessed Virgin said, "The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops."
.
So what's up with Cardinal Jose da Cruz Policarpo, the Patriarch of Lisbon, Portugal?
.
"Theologically there is no fundamental obstacle," Cardinal Policarpo was quoted as saying. "We could say there's a tradition, because it's never been done. There's a fundamental equality among all the members of the church," the Cardinal said. "The problem lies in a strong tradition, which comes from Jesus and from the fact that the churches of the Reformation conceded the priesthood to women." - Source

Now clearly that is just wrong.  Especially since the Holy Father has asserted that the teaching against the ordination of women is 'infallible'.
.
Whaddaya do? Quick - somebody get Ed Peters on the line!  Or.  Let the dead bury their dead. 
.
In the meantime, maybe I should go back to drinking?
