For:

• Jesus chose twelve men as his apostles.  He could have chosen women if he wanted.
• The priest represents Jesus at the Eucharist – only a man can do that.
• Women can have other important roles in a Christian community.  It is not being sexist to say they cannot be priests.

Against:

• Women and men both have useful gifts.
• Jesus chose twelve men because that was the culture of the day.
• Women are often seen as more caring.
