Popa, again, I can’t speak for R’ Weiss who I’ve never heard speak, but I’m unaware of any reason not to think that his desire to innovate is limited to a belief that standards of Tznius and Kavod HaTzibur should adapt to a world in which women are generally far more involved in public life, so long as those standards still conform to halacha. I can’t begin to figure out what you think his real agenda is after that, and I certainly don’t think the RCA (the people this conversation is about) is in any position to start divining the hidden agendas of their membership.
As for standards of ordination, that’s just not a hashkafic issue, and in the event it was, are you seriously suggesting we should start insisting on minimum standards for Rabbinic knowledge? I just can’t see that ending well for anyone.
