What do you think about Catholics holding that Mary, a woman, is the closest creature to God?
^This.
The Virgin Mary is whom we believe to basically have been the highest and most "important" (for lack of better word) Saint to ever exist.
So um yeah... the Church does not teach that women are objects.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
