Why the church is not women friendly?

What I like the best at the university is the interactions we could make during the lectures and there is a lot of respect given to the opinions of the students. Discussion is one of the mail tools at the university which clarifies all theories in practice. No one is discriminated or measured on the basis of ones opinion and stand points.

On one of these occasions we had to discuss from the church and the politics of the land. The debate was about using religious symbols at the schools. From among all the opinions and suggestion one caught hold of my attention raising a lot of questions in my hearts.

One student said that she opposes the use of religious symbols at the school. As she sees the symbol of crucifix at the classrooms she automatically gets reminded of the Catholic Church. For her Catholic Church and pope are not women friendly and not democratic where decisions are forced upon people by the authorities of the church.

I don’t want to comment here for or against as the theme is more controversial and surely it provoked a deep thought and some introspections.
