Vatican decree reconciles woman who sought priestly ordination :: Catholic News Agency (CNA)

Can. 1024 Only a baptised man can validly receive sacred ordination.

In 1976, the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith discussed the issue of the ordination of women and issued a Declaration on the Question of the Admission of Women to the Ministerial Priesthood which concluded that for various doctrinal, theological, and historical reasons, the Church "... does not consider herself authorized to admit women to priestly ordination."
