Il Papa's Idea of Gender Equality

Men cannot bear children. Women can. Therefore, men must cause women to be with child as often as possible.

Making women pregnant is a distraction. Therefore, men who become priests must abstain from carnal relations with women.

Priests, like all men, must eat. Therefore, let women who do not wish to become pregnant feed priests, instead.

Women do not think in the same way as men. Therefore, men should speak and women remain silent.

Women do not typically sexually abuse children, since they bear them. Therefore, it is the priests' job to do that.

Some women are religious by nature. Therefore, let us house those together so they can serve priests.

Man was created in the image of God. Men have penises. Therefore, women are not like God, and may not be priests.

A woman caused Adam to commit Original Sin. Therefore, women are temptresses to sinfulness and must be silenced.

However, without a woman, Jesus could not have been born. Therefore, women are of some value and must be tolerated.

As you see, men and women are equal in the eyes of The Lord. Both have a divine role to play.
