The Church of England is likely to vote to admit women bishops. Some people object on theological grounds and have joined the Catholic Church, others feel that as there are more women ordained than men today it is inevitable. Your views please.
UPDATE:
The vote went against allowing women bishops; the bishops themselves voted in favour, but the laity voted against ! The situation is chaotic as in theory the UK government could declare the vote discriminatory and overturn the decision.

Why not? Keeping women in a secondary
and/or subjugated position in an organization,
even a religious one, is archaic and erroneous.
People "joining" the Catholic Church in protest
of this is laughable. It's only promulgating their
cavemen views on the position of women in
society, as second place and not equal. What
does true spirituality have to do with gender?

long live women bishops. My niece is an ordained Lutheran minister. She's a graduate of a theological seminary . Pretty soon the Catholic church will have to ordain women as priests, b/c they don't have enough priests to go around.
