In the Roman Catholic Church (Eastern and Western rite) there are seven sacraments. Of these only "Holy Orders" is reserved for men.

Holy Orders is sometimes called ordination.

Other denominations such as Anglican allow women to be ordained.

Why does the catholic Church ordains only men in the sacrament of Holy Orders.?

The Catholic Church teaches that only men can be ordained in the sacrament of Holy Orders based on the example set by Jesus Christ, who chose only male apostles. The Church believes this practice is rooted in the tradition and understanding of the priesthood as a participation in Christ's sacrificial role, which aligns with the Church's interpretation of scripture and its theological teachings on gender. This teaching is also upheld by the Church as a matter of sacramental theology, emphasizing the significance of the male priest in representing Christ at the altar.
