God made them male and female, in God's image. The official church deliberately insults God by denying the feminine. It has chosen to operate with "half a brain". Is it any wonder that it finds itself so bogged down? It insists on clinging to patriarchy.

The church is increasingly ignored, found irrelevant by the young adults of the 21st century - especially in  countries where the equality of women is upheld as a given. The RCC is among the last remaining international institutions to officially teach that women are to be kept subject to men.  Essentially these arrogant men are saying that God is unworthy to be a priest because God is "imaged" in the feminine.

Marriages in the church have plummeted.  Infant baptisms have (naturally) done the same. Few educated young adults, and especially educated women, are willing to raise their children in a church that teaches that their daughters are inferior to their sons, unworthy to be priests or, sometimes, even to be altar servers.
