Ancient Vatican Catacombs Reveal Two Paintings Showing WOMEN As Priests

Newly restored frescoes from the Catacombs of Priscilla were presented by Vatican on Tuesday. Some of them reveal women as priests in the early Christianity. The Catacombs, which are located in the northern part of Rome, and are better known as the "Queen of the catacombs" features 4th century paintings from biblical scenes, Peter and Paul as well as two images showing women as priests. One scene shows women celebrating the Eucharist, the other one reveals a woman in a robe with her hands in a worshiping gesture. These paintings prove that there were women priests back in early stages of Christianity, which raises the question why couldn’t there be now?
