Women cannot be deacons.

Women cannot perform the Sacraments, including the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass which includes the Holy Eucharist.

Women cannot be bishops.

Nor can I go to a woman to receive the Sacrment of Reconciliation, Baptism, Confirmation, Annointing of the Sick, Holy Orders or Matrimony.

And you are right Catholic women are not allowed to give a homily -- only the ordained deacon or priest.

Yes, but... :)

If a church does not have sacraments nor apostolic succession, then what on your list can they do in this church that they cannot in the RC? For example, they can't present the consecrated Host in either.

Other than titles, little remains on the list.
