More atheist men than women?

Women can't get pregnant without them. But we still carry life within us for 9 months and give birth on our own, no man needed while we do both of these amazing and uniquely feminine things. :-)

... and yet you think such a thing disqualifies her as a spiritual teacher.

I can't pretend to understand the faithful sometimes.

Oh, and I should clarify... women can be spiritual teachers. They just can't perform the sacraments, so they can't be priests.

I suspect that "spiritual life" is an entirely meaningless phrase designed to placate women who have no power in the hierarchy. Sure, women give birth, but that seems entirely irrelevant.

Well we believe that spiritual life is a very real thing, so to us it is not just some meaningless thing we made up to oppress women lol. But as someone like yourself who doesn't believe in it, I can understand why you'd feel that way. Just know that we really do consider it a fundamental part of our faith.

They clearly aren't equal enough to hold equally high positions in the church.

You said women can't give spiritual life. And then you said majority of catholic school teachers are female. Does not compute.

You still fail to address that both men and women are equally vital in procreation, but women have no part in the giving of 'spiritual life'. btw, what is that exactly?

Women can be theologians and teach the faith.

But when I say give spiritual life, I am referring to performing the sacraments. I should have cleared that up earlier, my apologies.
