Pope Paul VI defended the ban on women priests in a address at St Peter's Square. He argued that reserving the priesthood for men is not discriminatory and compared it to keeping sopranos from becoming tenors in a choir. He said a disparity in functions does not affect the dignity of the faithful and noted some women question the practice while praising healthy feminism. A church document issued Thursday stated women cannot be priests because they do not bear a natural resemblance to Christ.
