He was confronted by Diane Montagna (LifeSiteNews.com) who asked him whether "female deacons" can be reconciled with Christ’s will that only men can receive the sacrament of Holy Orders, and whether he could comment on the purpose of his last week meeting with Communist and Socialist deputies.
Cristiane Murray, the Deputy-Director of the Holy See Press Office, a sympathiser of Communism, intervened telling Spengler: “You don’t need to answer questions concerning [Communist] parallel events.”
In his reply, Spengler made the unwarrented claim that “from the perspective of Canon Law, there exists already a path for ordaining deaconesses, but not priestesses” - as if such [invalid] ordinations were a juridical problem.
In reality, Canon Law says that “the orders are the episcopate, the presbyterate, and the diaconate” (1009) and that "a baptised male alone receives sacred ordination validly” (1024).
