Predominantly Catholic Poland, although free from "honour killings", has a problem with violence against women, rooted in the strong influence of the Catholic church on public life, Polish minister for gender equality Magdalena Sroda said.

Very interesting indeed. Time to get out the hip boots and shovels...

I think we need snorkels for this one.

"But some experts believe any male-dominated religion, in which God and his prophets or apostols are male figures, creates conditions for the subordination and abuse of women."

I think you'd have to be an "ex-spurt" to pile it that high and deep.
