One of them was that Paul did not particularly consider women to be anything as far as the Church was concerned.

Doesn't this seem to be an odd statement especially the way Mary is now revered? Paul, btw, often refer to many women in his writings and how they were great supporters of his ministry.

Considering protestantism's angle on what St Paul said with regard to head covering while praying and women not leading worship I'm amazed at the interest in what St Paul said on other topics...

Supporters yes, but he saw noa ctive role for women in the Church. In fact he suggests they keep silent and ask their husbands when they get home what it was all about. He makes it very clear that man is the head of a woman the way Christ is the head of man.
