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.
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.

"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."
