Absolutely true.  In fact women were priests in the early church (aka presbyters) and this was when the church thrived the most.  We have always been ready for women priests, bishops, cardinals and Popes,  but once we gave evil and hatred room to enter and take control, around the 250's to 600s AD, it makes it very hard to be free again.  It will take prayer and genuine revolution of the laity, religious and priests, with active and aggressive, though non-violent, protests to rid us of this demon misogyny.  It needs to be done immediately for the sake of our church and our world.  I am starting to contact lay people who are interested in forming groups for this cause.

Thanks for your frank and enlightened comment!
