Look at the RCC: Only men can have authority. Women cannot even govern their own reproduction. Once married, you cannot ever divorce. Priests are immune to prosecution for sexual crimes against children. The Priesthood cannot reproduce. People who don't follow prescribed sexual norms are disordered, despite a priesthood that is required to refrain from sex altogether.

That's intolerance, by definition. That's not anything like recognition of reality.
