It's extremely patriarchal and for the power hungry male who wishes to control everything - it kinda makes sense.Well there probably is an evolutionary reason that ALL political and religious ventures in human evolution end up with men in power as the majority.
But a woman? I cannot comprehend why ANY woman would want to be a Christian, let alone a Catholic.
Do these women not read the bible or do they just condone god-ordained rape and slavery??!?!?
Why any woman signs up for Islam or Christianity is beyond my understanding.
Men on AVERAGE grow to be physically bigger, and testosterone can and often does make ON AVERAGE, more men risk takers. Women who DO need more power, have the advantage of nurture and ON AVERAGE, think more about stability for the family.
But the Pope is an asshole, but he should not feel alone, because any person that says "make more babies" in our current evolution where resources are harder to get and need to be spread among more people, is simply an idiot stuck in a past.
"Make more babies" had an evolutionary advantage back then. But doing it now has only the short term advantage of benefiting the tribe. Long term the more the world, ALL LABELS ASIDE, makes more babies, is bad for or species.
So when any idiot of any religious labels says "Make more babies" , they are not thinking about the species, they are thinking about maintaining their own power.
