You are right. But naive. There seems no way the RCC will ever admit its sins against women.  This sin of misogny in the church underlies a  number of other sins committed against the people of the church by the institutional church.  The harm that has been done and continues to be done from these institutional sins is enormous.  The handful of celibate males who run the church and define the doctrine demonstrate why the sin of pride is the most destructive of all the capital sins.  They cling to pride.  There is little hope unless women  stop being "good girls", saying Yes, Father, Of Course, Your Eminence.  The few women on display by Rome and the bishops are chosen because they can be counted on to toe the party line, not because of their credentials. The credentials are among the reasons they are chosen, but it's for show - women with similar credentials who refuse to play along  are not chosen.  Women in the RCC share some  blame - they need to go on strike & close the wallets.
