Holy
It seems the very nature of religious institutions to resist becoming a church.
Take the Virgin Birth, an irony if ever there was one. However you feel about it, there’s this to say, God can handily turn creation into the Way without any assistance, thank you, from us males. Any church worth its brocades and brass ought to be able to handle such a notion with grace and humility.
Not so, the religious institution. It soon took hold of Mary and all her exemplary faith, humility, and commitment, gave her an Immaculate Conception into earth and a Bodily Assumption into heaven, thus handily compromising her womanhood.
Next, it told women to be like the BVM. Then it told women they couldn’t be priests. Obviously, anybody like that is too holy for Holy Orders.
