Dalmatic Dogmatics

The purported ordination of a woman to the Diaconate would have exactly as much sacramental effect as if it had been staged as a theatrical production, namely none whatever.

The bishop who had performed it would merely have committed a schismatic act. The Teaching of the Church would be unchanged, because that Teaching is unchangeable.

100 years from now, the canonisation of Saint John Henry Newman will be seen as a landmark event in the history of the Church, while nobody will remember the Amazon Synod.
