Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the current situation regarding the possibility of conferring the sacrament of ordination on women at the level of priest and bishop. It first of all outlines the issue from the point of view of dogmatic theology, then maps out the legal consequences within the ecclesiastical discipline, specifically in the law of sanction and magisterial law. In the article the author comes to the conclusion that the inability of a woman to receive ordination needs to be considered a closed question and a definitive truth, which the Pope has proclaimed as a use of the charism of infallibility. This implies both the impossibility of conferring ordination and also the impossibility of denying or relativising this doctrine in the teaching of theological faculties and seminaries.
