It works for our bodies...

So why not try it for our souls?

We need priest practitioners. These would be men (or women!) that would be able to perform certain clerical duties. They would be able to say mass, perform the sacrament of the Eucharist, and do baptisms. They would operate under the "license" of a full priest.

Rural communities depend on nurse practitioners. Don't we all need priest practitioners?

PS: It would be a great face-saving way for the Church to finally acknowledge that women are humans, and not just property and/or animals.
