1 Timothy 2:1.[12] I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent.

This is the accepted Catholic Church position.

Never been to a Catholic school with the nuns?

When the (male) Bishop is subordinate to Sister Agnes you'll have a point.

When Sister Agnes is the Bishop you'll really have a point.

In the meantime women are second class citizens in the Catholic Church.

When Sister Agnes gives instruction to a male, I'll have a point. I've been instructed by Sister Agnes, and since I have fathered six children, I'll use that as proof of being male.

In the meantime women are second class citizens in the Catholic Church.

Does that mean if I cannot bear children I am second class in nature?
