an organization utterly dependent for its survivial on women

The Catholic Church does not depend on women for its "survival." It depends on Jesus Christ who founded it and said that the gates of hell would not prevail against it. It has existed for almost 2,000 years. If you're waiting for it to disappear, I wouldn't hold my breath.

I'm not waiting for it to disappear. I'm am intriqued why women are a large part of the active Catholics, and why the Church feels the need to cut them out of minimal roles like altar girl. That's all.
