yup, women are really equal in christism. not! the vatican held for centuries that women did not have souls, ie they were walking baby machines, fit to be barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen. sounds exactly like mohammedan views on women, right?

So much for equality in the West !
Vatican- Excommunication for female priests
VATICAN CITY - The Vatican insisted Friday that it is properly following Christian tradition by excluding females from the priesthood as it issued a new warning that women taking part in ordinations will be excommunicated.
The move dashed the hopes both of women seeking to be priests and of Catholics who see that as an option for a church struggling to recruit men.The church has always banned the ordination of women by stating that the priesthood is reserved for males. The new decree is explicit in its reference to women.
"The church does not feel authorized to change the will of its founder Jesus Christ," Amato said in an interview prepared for Vatican Radio that was released to reporters. The reference is to Christ's having chosen only men as his Apostles.

christists are winning by a huge margin. In one US city that I will not mention, evangelicals are specifically targeting Hindu girls for conversion - they are choosing very wisely. They know that the Hindu community is very prosperous so they target Hindu women and put pressure on the families. I know personally of one case in which a Hindu girl was dating an evangelical white guy. She threatened to kill herself unless her father, a prominent cardiologist, gave her $500K trust fund over to an evangelical organization. He had no choice but to comply. Sad.
We cannot afford to be complacent.
