I can't make any sense of this post. But it seems to be infused with scorn. Scorn for women and scorn for laity. Am I reading its sentiment correctly?

Yes the Deaconess line seems to have been confused with the ladies defying the Church by insisting they can be made Priests etc. Thank you Anghela for spotting this tangle in the postings.
I believe that the role of the Sisters and the Nuns in the Catholic Church has taken on those roles in past times of the the Deaconess. Many lay women also do these things.
