"Hail Mary" aside(I could get into a whole post about that it's only because she had been a convenient incubator that she has been remembered and not because of any unique trait she possessed)  Non expert can you please give a good reason why a women should not hold the same power and influence as a man?  You obviously believe that your religion should play an important part in the everyday lives of it's members.  What traits does a man posses that makes him more competent to participate in the organization? Perhaps we have a different definition of the word demeaning.  I find it demeaning that you see my gender and not my abilities as more important to deciding whether I am capable of holding a position of responsibility. That your view point is also reflected in your religions arbitrary rejection of half the membership from positions of power is more to the point that it is an archaic demeaning organization.  

Eddie and Irishshane I do hope that I have in no way offended you in this post.  


Not At all.   I guess the Catholic Church would say that men and women are equal and that its simply a matter of roles.  And i do think that these days ,at least in Ireland, women are the head of the house.
