He did not have female Apostles. The Catholic Church bases the priesthood on Apostolic Succession.

Sacred tradition among Catholics will never allow a female priesthood. No Pope can change that. It will never happen and I just shake my head at the people who try to say it will happen or petition. It’s never happening. My advice would be to change Churches.
