Seriously, I want to know #2

Well, I guess im just full of questions.
Why is it that i've never heard of a female priest/pope? Im not religius, so maybe there have been, but not to my knowledge.
Anyone know the answer?

i'm guessing you meant female. the reason you havent heard of one is because they're called priestesses. they were mainly in the Paganistic time period and during the Egyptian period. it was really Chrisitianity that made it so women couldnt attain a high-ranked position in the religious world. i suggest reading The Da Vinci Code (though it's slightly controversial and i wouldnt say that everything in that book is accurate) but it's still a pretty good read and opens your mind to a few interesting concepts.

I've read The Da Vinci Code. But, thats book is fiction. Thanks for your answer, this question has been nagging at my brain forever.

^ Thanks for the comment...clears up some stuff.

too true bob too true

its because in the (catholic) bible, jesus and his deciples (sp?) are all men and i think in the churchs eyes men are better than women, which i don't think is right because arn't we all equal in god's eyes?
