The reform of Paganism that was Paulist Christianity was short-lived. 

Briefly, it attempted to move Pagans (Gentiles) away from gender-based religion and male-female sex rituals in temples, self-castration by males, and incestuous male and female deities. The reform succeeded at much, but obviously, patriarchy and discrimination are still with us, as are gender roles. The Roman Catholic priesthood, which was unknown among the early Paulists, may be related to the celibate/castrating Galli priests of Rome and Turkey who dressed like women. The Paulists envisioned a holy community that was 'neither male nor female,' and a 'priesthood of all believers,' and a Christ whose members were both male and female, and 'one baptism.'  Who remembers this? Probably not the women who have not put much effort into asking themselves why they follow Vaticanism.

We do not expect the Vaticanites, who hijacked the Church centuries ago, to go back to the earliest days and recapture that momentum.
