Priestesses in the making in Brazil

Above is a minister of the Eucharist in the São Barnabé Community, Santa Ana Parish, Diocese of Caratinga, Minas Gerais, Brazil. She is not celebrating Mass, but distributing the Eucharist in the absence of the priest.

We know the rationale: With the adaptation of the Church to the world, the number of vocations to the priesthood collapsed dramatically. So, the Church needs lay people to supply for the lack of priests. Then, the women ministers of the Eucharist entered the picture so that Catholics could receive Communion.

Many things, however, are not clear in this explanation:

The first question that arises is: Why does the Church not stop this disastrous adaptation to the world and return to the times before Vatican II when she had a plethora of priests?

The second is: Caratinga has 55,000 Catholics in a population of 90,000. Seventy-five priests are assigned to assist these Catholics. Each priest, therefore, has about 730 faithful under his care. In view of this, having ministers of Eucharist is not an absolute necessity, it is a convenience.

The third is: Why are these ministers women when there is a clear prohibition made by St. Paul in Scriptures (1 Cor 14:34-35; 1 Tim 2:11-13) against women speaking in the Church, that is, against women teaching or playing a salient role in the Church?

The fourth is: Our Lord only chose men to distribute the Sacraments, which is perfectly coherent since they act "in persona Christi" and He is a man.

For all these reasons, we can clearly see that women should not be given this role. However, they are chosen to be ministers of the Eucharist to advance the progressivist agenda of having women deacons and women priests.

The rest is talk to fool the faithful so that they do not react but instead accept the progressivist agenda.
