Yes, learning from women is the same as buggering little boys.

I do hope the Pope keeps this sort of thing up, it can only help show up Catholicism for the misogynistic force it is and that is a good thing!

Catholicism is it's own worst enemy (and reason of course).

Such astonishingly counter intuitive and patently incorrect views expressed by one figurehead - which are sympathised with by over a billion people across the planet - scares the hell out of me.

Thankfully, it is unlikely over billion. It could be significantly less. Even if you are not a practising catholic anymore, if you were baptised or converted, you are still counted unless you formally leave the church, which is an official process.
