And dignity is ultimately at the root of this discussion.
Cardinal Law, a man known to turn child molesters loose on various congregations, but a man nonetheless, is entitled to have women clean his toilet. Are those women entitled to have a man clean their toilets? I doubt it. How many women in the church are entitled to a car and driver? As you said, the sexes have different duties in the church. I suppose I'll have to take your word that those nuns on their knees, brush in hand, with the scent of urine wafting up through their holy nostrils, have just as much dignity as the Pope being cheered by huge crowds in Vatican Square and flossing around in the popemobile - and that if any don't, it's only because of their philosophical and theological shortcomings.

I do not think you can keep denying the fact that the church is sexist. Its not like say the existance of god that really could go either way but we have diffrent veiws, it is rooted in fact that the church is sexist, i know you will keep trying to defend it but when it comes down to it im sure it is clear to most that the church is. I can understand you are defending it as it is a very important orgainisation in your eyes. But because it is so improtant does this mean it is without fault?
