12. The largest denomination of Christianity on this planet

is one of the worst offenders in this regard. The patriarchal hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church has led the way in reducing women to minor roles, both within the church and outside of it. Its constant battle against women controlling their own reproductive choices is a model of suppression of women. And it is all done in the name of religion.

Of course, there are no women in leadership positions in the RCC, either. They are relegated to servile occupations within the church.

And all of that is supported by scripture, according to the RCC itself.

So, what do you propose be done about this travesty, guillaumeb?
