Re: Chess
you mis-state Catholic doctrine here. Women and men have different roles, not because women are "lesser" but merely because women have the biological capacity to bear children. If anything, women have an elevated role in Catholicism (see the special reverence given to Mary for example, she is higher than any mortal male in the Catholic "pantheon"). Priests are male because they cannot bear children and they are celibate so that they are not tempted to divide their loyalty between their own offspring and their "flock" in general. If women were priests then, given their capacity to "be fruitful and multiply," they would then "inevitably" be placed in a position of divided loyalty between their own offspring and their "flock."
Weird, how this discussion came about in this thread.
