text: Hallo Loy,
  you write  "And I have my baptismal and marriage promises to keep . I like to see them as bonds of love ."  
  So you are an exception. Most of us were baptised as babies.
  The fact that we are born into an institutionalised religion has often been the basis for religious wars. No child is born as a catholic, a protestant, a muslim, a buddhist, an atheist and so on (maybe with the exception of being born of a Jewish mother). Our confession is the result of education, or - if you like - of vocation, grace.
  But I am deviating of this topic of women in the RCC. Sorry.
