  How simplistic! Really! Where are you coming from? Do you really believe nearly 8 million Americans became Catholic because they "couldn't bear to hear a woman standing in the pulpit...??? According to Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life (2012 online), 2.6% of the American population, currently Catholic, are former Protestants. That is almost 8 million Americans (in a country of 325 million). Do you really think ALL those former Protestants "fled" because of female pulpit-preaching? In analyzing "that" part of American religious history, update your file cabinet first, try not to think in generalities (especially when dealing with the details of stats), and try not to assert a point based on the passion of your prejudices (as all do, occasionally).
