Sir, - Elizabeth M. Crosbie (April 27th) and Fr. David O'Hanlon (May 4th) insist that women can never be ordained as priests.
Their intransigence prompts me to quote to them a suggestion made in a letter sent by Oliver Cromwell to the Church of Scotland in 1650: "I beseech you, in the bowels of Christ, think it possible that you may be mistaken." - Yours, etc., Brenda Wheeler
