Then again...I have heard many Sisters and laywomen "preach" at  missions, prayer breakfasts, and the like who were simply horrible.

Also, in the courses, seminars and Bible study classes I have taken post grad....Pretty much evenly distributed between men and women...some having more men than women.  Guess it depends on what you attend....

And how wonderful in many ways that we have been exposed to priests from different countries!  What an opportunity to learn - and to be warm and welcoming.  I mean, that's part of what everyone is talking about now, right??  Or do we only mean to welcome some people???
