Protestants are famous for female clergy, and for women who feel that head covering reflects poorly on their feminism.

Watch it. Sounds like Protestant bashing.

You will find that the conservative Protestant churches do not have female elders of any sort.

You are forever mentioning the female head covering stuff.
Now, do the Roman Catholics you know abide by this early admonition? I for one have not seen it in reality for about 35 years.

Just about every image and icon I have seen of Jesus- particularly in Catholic and Orthodox churches- show Him with long hair. This seems to contradict I Corinthians 11:14. In the Catholic Church I attend, very few of the women cover their heads. In fact, to my knowledge, only in the Coptic Churches do all the women cover their heads (as well as sit on the opposite side of the church from the men, and, like the men, remove their shoes when approaching the altar).

Everyone knows the Catholic Church does not have women priests. There are many women teachers, cousellors, administrators, etc. Many RCIA classes are taught by women. I do not see how this differs from those Protestant churches that have women elders and pastors.
