""As regards the individual nature, woman is defective and misbegotten, for the active force in the male seed tends to the production of a perfect likeness in the masculine sex; while the production of woman comes from a defect in the active force or from some material indisposition, or even from some external influence" - Thomas Aquinas."

St. Thomas was citing the state of 13th medicine as a reading of his Summa Theologica will affirm. To try to extrapolate this into Church dogma is a stretch even for you.

But Rome typifies Aquinas’ bias.

No coincidence.
