Even so I don't think history should be relied on for a precedent, fascinating though it is. I spend a lot of time raking around medieval carvings in churches & cathedrals but I doubt I'd agree with the people who made them, much less those that paid for them, no more than I agree with the custodians of such places today. On one hand I respect belief, on another I can't respect any belief based on disrespect and manifests pure and purposeful ignorance in the midst of a hard won (though far from perfect) secular enlightenment. Whatever people believed in the past is no excuse for them behaving like idiots today. Unfortunately human beings will use the past (or their version of it) as an excuse for all manner of atrocity, including the institionalised sexism which is the subject of this thread.

So - a big yes to women priest, Archbishops or whatever, even though I might wonder why anyone would bother.

Meanwhile: The Roman Catholic Church was going to extraordinary lengths to make it easy for disenchanted Anglicans to convert to Catholicism.
