bullshit. guess what, men are absolutely vital for procreation. women can't do it on their own. It means that women never have the authority to teach, and they are inferior to men in the church. They have to shut up and listen.
if you're not lying, you're blind.
If the Church says that women never have the authority to teach, then why do Catholic schools have mostly women teachers? If the Church says that women are inferior to men, then why does Church Doctrine state they are equal? The Church does not say these things, Neim.
Yes, men are vital for procreation, but it's the woman who carries life and brings it into the world. Men can't do that.
In the same sense it can also be said that women are vital for priests to be born in the first place. It isn't men that are carrying them inside their bodies for 9 months and giving birth to them.
That's the whole point. We are equal and complimentary, and we cannot survive as a species without the other.

Check the newest Pew research study that was released earlier this year. It should cover gender information....I think.

I don't know what the reason is (if any), but demographically speaking, atheism in America tends to be more popular both among males and whites. Some people have speculated levels of education, but I don't know for sure.

Exian: My "wife"? Who? Oh yeah! My wife! Who is a real person.
CL: Thank you. I've been in agony for several hours, we think it's due to my Chron's disease. Or rather a narrowing in my intestine as the result of scarring from the disease. I really thought I'd be spending tonight in hospital, but thankfully it seems to have sorted itself out now.

Well men are smarter than women. What do you expect?

Are there atheist dating sites?
I'm not sure but probably, there are dating sites for farmers.

The input from Napolean is statistically relevant and therefore can answer your question.

But they don't have women priests who are more important and have more power and authority than teachers. Males can also be teachers, but females can't be priests. The inequality is obvious.

Both women and men are required for anybody to be born.
Two people are needed for procreation. One for preaching. See the difference?

No, that's not the point. The point is that the CC doesn't allow women in their higher hierarchy. Why do you think that is?
