Women should be bishops

I cannot quite believe the statements from the Catholic Church over the Church of England debating the appointment of women as bishops. Cardinal Walter Kasper, head of the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of Christian Unity, said: "For the future, this decision will have consequences for dialogue, which until now had borne much fruit. Such a decision is a break with apostolic tradition maintained in all of the Churches in the first millennium, and is therefore a further obstacle for reconciliation between the Catholic Church and the Church of England."

I personally do not want this so called reconciliation, as I hold true to the Protestant tradition in Christianity. I do not believe that a church should be led and managed by men, nor do I believe that the RC Church has any authority to discuss what is right and wrong, when it is rife with prejudice and intolerance. I am sorry but the idea that contraception is wrong; that women are not fit to be bishops or that gay people are born of Satan is ridiculous. So Mr Cardinal Walter Kasper you can take your bigotry and stick it in a dark place.
