"The Church is not able to adopt..." ?  "The Church's doctrine..." ?  "The Church believes that 'Nick' has a female soul..." ? "The Church has a lot to lose if it is pressured..." ?

No, not the "Church", but certain, vested elements within it. Please stop misappropriating the word "Church".

As for "female soul", what on Earth is that? Of what is it composed? It must have essence of some description. Is kindness part of that essence? Compassion? Loyalty? Gentleness?  I have all of these qualities, so must I have a "female soul", too? Even though I am most definitely male?
