The Sisters [regardless of what future their religious communities may have], are AMONG the best candidates for immediate ordination as deacons.  They have the theological/spiritual background needed.  They have the experience of daily liturgical prayer [the Sisters PRAY the Divine Office as well as priests and deacons do].  And since the original concept of being a deacon was to give service, the Sisters certainly have that experience as well.  Many of the Sisters have also had training in public speaking.


The problem, as Nora Bolcon stated it so well is----waiting for the male hierarchs and the priests to stop breaking the Great Commandments, and MOVE on this issue.  There are other major issues that the bishops also need to get moving on as well, but we don't want them to hurt themselves rushing too quickly, now do we?   ;-)
