More atheist men than women?

Bolded mine. This is not Catholic teaching.

Remember, Catholicism is not sola scriptura. I can't speak for the Christian denominations that are.

It isn't in that sense, but it is part of the keystone of why women cannot become priests right? To be a top leader within Catholicism one needs to receive holy orders, and to receive holy orders you need to pass two checks...

A) A penis, and not just any penis but a fully functional set of male genitalia (eunuchs cannot become clergy or preform mass).

B) Women are made in the image of man, not of God. That's why the NT directs women to submit to their superior male who in turn submits to his (God).

If you look back at Church history this really is the case, you can be autistic like Celestine, you can even be a 13 year old boy who doesn't know crap about theology but so long as you've got a dong that makes you a candidate for the papacy. Forget the fact you can be a theological genius like Hildegarde; no dong? No promotion.

Women cannot become leaders in Catholicism, they will always have another man over them telling them what they can and can't do.

A. I don't know if this is true. I've never heard of that before, but will look into it.

B. Hm? This is not Catholic teaching, lol. From the catechism 2335 : "Each of the two sexes is an image of the power and tenderness of God."

From Gaudium Et Spes in the Vatican website: "Nevertheless, with respect to the fundamental rights of the person, every type of discrimination, whether social or cultural, whether based on sex, race, color, social condition, language or religion, is to be overcome and eradicated as contrary to God's intent. For in truth it must still be regretted that fundamental personal rights are still not being universally honored. Such is the case of a woman who is denied the right to choose a husband freely, to embrace a state of life or to acquire an education or cultural benefits equal to those recognized for men."

The reason the Church has all male priests has nothing to do with men being superior beings to women. The Church does not believe this to be the case. Only men can be priests because we believe only men can give spiritual life. Likewise, only women can give physical life. This does not make one gender greater than the other. Just different in some ways, with different things to offer.
