Hackneyed moronic logic

Barely had the Holy Father left South America and Bishop Celso Queiros, one of the members of the Fifth General Assembly of the Latin American bishops said this (in Portuguese, from the official website of the Brazilian Episcopal Conference):
"The Pope recognized that the Church has a certain debt to women. We know that, at this time, the dialogue on the possible ordination of women is closed in the Church. Which does not mean that it cannot be opened."
With all due respect: write that out in symbolic logic, put it in your pipe, and try smoking it.

[Hat tip to Rorate Caeli, "Aparecida Notes: Latin American bishop says 'Women's ordination is not a closed matter'"]
