Christian Women in Leadership

questions, questions

I posted this on Cottonjane's journal, about the Catholic Church and women.

you don't have to answer if you don't want to, of course. I don't understand how you could be a part of a church (the Catholic Church) that oppresses women, because it does not welcome them into all of the leadership roles of the church. Do you ever think about that?

I know that God created me to be a woman, and that's good. It also means that he didn't create me to be a second-class citizen.

And I don't understand (besides that it is a part of tradition/history, and that in the Bible, God even states that women would be oppressed--it is a result of the The Fall) why Christians worship the y-chromosome. Are men supposed to be less sinful than women? Is there something in the y-chromosome that makes them this way? Because I know men, and *I know* they are not less sinful than me.

Also, I think it's silly that priests are not allowed to marry. For some people I guess it makes sense, but probably some people could be good priests and good family men also.

Luckily, in my church, they say that they allow women in be in any leadership role.
