Can't really put my finger on where I equated Jesus with the human leadership of the Church...merely made the point which you seemed to accept that as far as a knowable historical character, the transmitter of the Jesus story has always been the Church and its male hierarchy...

My question still remains though: if you are deeply suspicious about the holiness/saintliness of the women I originally mentioned because it is the Church who tells us they are saints, what exactly do you find holy/saintly/worthy of emulation about Jesus? Do you have the same suspicions for Him as you do for the female saints you seem to toss aside? If you don't, why not?
