Good, I'm glad I cleared that part up for you.
We don't know why, exactly. We just believe that for whatever reason, God gave that ability only to men. Just like He gave the ability to carry life and give birth, only to women. For whatever reason, He just thought it would be best that way and that is how He designed it to be. Though we don't know why He chose women to give birth and men to give sacraments, we do understand that there is some balance to giving one very important role to one, and another very important role to the other.

You're still ignoring that for procreation, both a man and a woman are needed, when only one man is needed for priesthood.
So.....you admit you don't have a justification for the church doctrine. OK. Well at least we agree there. But why stay obedient to it if it doesn't have a reason?
Oh sorry... I thought I addressed that already.
Yes, men are needed to impregnate a woman. But I'm not talking about the "impregnating" part of it. I'm talking about carrying life and giving birth. Which are immensely powerful and important things that only women can do.
I believe it does have reason. God gave one very important role to one gender, and another very important role to the other gender. I don't know why He chose women for the birth one, and men for the sacrament one, but to me that part is not important.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
