"Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says." First letter to the Corinthians
"I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet." First letter to Timothy.

Bishops, priests, carers, doctors, nurses, teachers, cardinals, monks, musicians, maintenace people, road sweepers, toilet attendants and all inspirational, well meaning and hardworking/industrious people - can/should be of any gender.
And even those of us who will never be able to carry out any task ...
