Thousands of Southern Baptists overwhelmingly voted Wednesday to advance a formal ban on women pastors in the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, sending a clear message that men alone should preach to these conservative evangelical congregations.

    Its not surprising to me at all. Christianity is a patriarchal religion the same way all Abrahamic religions are. It’s like kind of the point.

        Many Christian sects also have female leaders. The Episcopal Church comes to mind as one of the bigger ones. The Southern Baptists would say Episcopalianism is not Christianity, though. Hell, I think that’s even their stance on Catholicism.

          That’s exactly what they say. The Chick comics go so far as to call the Catholic church the antichrist. They’re kind of hilarious.

          Episcopalians are the wealthiest sect of Christianity, they value education and intellectualism, like the many Jewish sects do.

          In other words, they are godless heathens…

          Without doing any research, I would say you are correct. They generally have a problem with Catholic saints, among other things.
