The central female with hands raised is theorized in the article to be a female priest. Sorry, but no. That is simply a form of early Christian prayer called orans, which is a prayer posture that replicates symbolically the posture of Christ on the cross. It was later supplanted by the folded hands posture that we are all familiar with.

It looks like orens with a tallith covering the head.
There will be women priests. The sexual behavior of the male priests in the last 2 generations alone make it inevitable. Whether there were female priests or not in the past is unimportant. The Church will either get out front and lead on this issue or get swept along with the tide.
