[John O]

Pope Joan is an aptly timed show, performed just as the bill to allow women bishops in Wales was passed, proof that the Church is finally accepting that the strength of your faith is irrelevant to your gender.

Your faith may be irrelevant to your sex but your role in the church certainly isn't. The bible is pretty clear that only men can be pastors and bishops.

[GeronL]

What does the Catholic Church have to do with the Bible?

And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.

Why would you bring the bible into this mess...The bible also says bishops are to have wives and kids...
