Influential and militant Femi-nazi, sorry, Salesian “Sister” Linda Pocher, a theologian from Rome who has advised high-level Synodal Church bodies, including the Council of “Cardinals”, on matters concerning women in the Synodal Church, is once again advancing her campaign to destroy God’s ordained order.
In an interview that appeared in Katolisch, she advocates for expanded roles for women in liturgy and governance, suggests that long-standing theological positions may be open to reconsideration, and emphasizes harmony and inclusivity as guiding principles for the Church’s future.
Such claims are of course total garbage and contra the unchanging deposit of Faith. When measured against Sacred Scripture, Apostolic Tradition, and the consistent teaching of the Church, “Sister” Pocher’s proposals reveal not only serious theological errors and the usual Synodal departure from Catholic orthodoxy, but that she is clearly a modernist enemy of Christ’s Church.
The clearest apostolic teaching on the role of women in the Church comes from St. Paul, whose inspired words are binding for all time. In his First Epistle to Timothy, he writes:
“I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to use authority over the man: but to be in silence.” (1 Timothy 2:12)
And again, in 1 Corinthians:
“Let women keep silence in the churches… for it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church.” (1 Corinthians 14:34–35)
Paul grounds them in the order of creation itself: “For Adam was first formed; then Eve” (1 Timothy 2:13). The prohibition against women teaching or exercising authority in the Church is therefore theological in nature and not disciplinary, temporary, or merely some cultural relic.
“Sister” Pocher’s proposal that women should be permitted to preach within liturgical settings stands in direct contradiction to this apostolic command. Her assertion that such preaching “would not require ordination” misunderstands the nature of Catholic preaching, which has always been intrinsically linked to the ordained ministry. To detach preaching from Holy Orders is to undermine the sacramental structure established by Christ.
Equally problematic is the claim that Our Lord’s choice of twelve male apostles was merely symbolic and therefore not binding on the Church. This interpretation contradicts the unanimous tradition of the Church, which has always understood Christ’s actions as deliberate and normative and not up for dismissal by some rabid heretical feminist.
