Female Catholic Priest arrested by Vatican

Janice Sevre-Duszynska, Excommunicated Female Priest, Reportedly Detained At Vatican

Don't Catholic Women realize that their place is as a background figure - to marry a man (or Christ), and to support the men in being greater? Such arrogance by these women!

Granted, there are men within the church who support this, but as the article suggest, only the most masochistic would choose to do so:

In November 2012, for instance, Father Roy Bourgeois, a Nobel Peace Prize nominee involved in Sevre-Duszynska's ordination, was dismissed from religious orders by the Vatican after almost half a century of service.

That same month, an Austrian priest named Rev. Helmut Schueller was barred by the Vatican from using the title "monsignor" after he advocated for female and married priests.

In December 2012, 92-year-old Jesuit priest named Rev. Bill Brennan was stripped of his duties after he celebrated mass with Sevre-Duszynska.

Here's a guy who has done more than the last Pope, and nobody came to his aid. He certainly didn't give up and claim his old age was the reason he couldn't pursue good.

Well, can't say the alter boys will complain.

Priest jokes aside (as fun as they are), Judaism, Christianity, and Islam (I don't know much about the rest) all seem to use Religion to keep women from participating "too much". From what I was told by a follower of the B'hai, a break-away from Islam, that they take one of the most lenient positions in that area. Even the idea of educating women more than a century ago was considered heretical in practice. In Judaism, one can find it in the Talmud ("It says 'and you shall teach your sons/children (בניך). This mean your sons, and not your daughters' - mesechet Kiddushin).

I am certain that there are authoritative texts in Christianity and Islam that echo this, since it is unlikely that it's just a tradition.

It's a shame, really, that one who is unluky enough to be born with the wrong chromoson set, is shoved in the dark, as in "You are not good enough to lead, but feel free to be led:.
