When the “spirit” of VII was all the rage many predicted that the rush to appoint women to the new ministries created would push men out of the church. Religion becomes a women’s thing and the men stay home. The wife takes care of that stuff. The Protestant denominations that have put women in leadership have seen the same effect. When girls were allowed to be altar boys they soon took over the job almost entirely in many parishes because boys didn’t want to do that any more, any more than they wanted to go to those ballroom dancing classes. Now girls flock to the position while the boys have to be pushed. If women are not church leaders and ministers they will not leave the Church. Women carry the Christianity gene for the race. It has been so since Acts.
.....In truth going all the way back to when it was WOMEN who were the VERY FIRST people to fine that the tomb of Jesus was EMPTY.
