Comment: The Pope would do far better if he could just work a bit to wrap his mind around that ever-so-novel (and, yes, I am being VERY sarcastic here) concept that women are equal to men, and that women and men can be equally courageous and loving and good and bad and intelligent and capable, or ignorant and useless, or anything in between, as the case may be.  
And before anyone starts telling me about his age, etc, please be aware that the women's emancipation movement is MUCH older than the Pope, and the fact that, as a male, he chose to resist it, does not really give him much excuse.  Apparently, he has been wrong his entire life about this, and it's high time for him to take notice of that fact.
