Go to any Catholic church for a weekday mass and see if you can find a man other than the priest. I have no axe to grind about this but decided to ask my wife if it was true in our local Catholic church. She said the ratio was 50-50 during the week (and I will attest she goes quite often during the week) and curiously this would be a higher ratio of men to women than on the weekend. I am not Catholic and the city is Huntington Beach CA. Her father and some of his friends bought the property where the local church sits (they were eventually paid back) to get the process going when the diocese was dragging their feet and her grandfather was a benefactor of the old downtown church. I am not arguing against you, just giving you a perspective based on family. I do attend Mass regularly with my wife and find some of the priests very educated and engaging speakers. As an aside in reference to what Steven says about the Philippines, a care-giver (from the Philippines) for my mother-in-law related to a tour of the catacombs there as a teen-ager, where nuns were expected to provide for their afterlife by digging their own tombs. She is very religious but was turned off from being a nun.;)
