Hong Kong Jesuit Bishop Stephen Chow, 62, hopes for [invalid] women's ordinations, he said during his Chrism Mass homily.
Calling for "priestesses" is the daily business of the German church tax bishops but uncommon for Asian and African prelates.
In the homily, Chow said out of the blue while speaking about "synodality" that he now would "turn to English, just to address our ordained brothers, and I hope one day maybe ordained sisters too” (Video sequence below).
English is not commonly understood in Hong Kong.

For some reason....I no longer see any gray shades. I see things as an either/or issue now. No more …More

For some reason....I no longer see any gray shades. I see things as an either/or issue now. No more fence-sitting or lukewarm positions, as in my younger, more liberal days.

Ok. That sounds reasonable. Thanks for the explanation.

@Kenjiro M. Yoshimori People aren't "heretics" by Church standards just because you accuse them of it. This guy is just another idiot suggesting an error contrary to Church teachings... Deliberately misusing the word "heretic" is one too, btw. ;-)

Hong Kong bishop replaced the great Cardinal Zen. This clown was appointed by Francis a few months ago. Another heretic Jesuit appointed by a heretic Jesuit.

Wel ja, maak er een nog grotere puinhoop van.
