I have no interest, but there are women I know who would be very good at lead a congregation, many nuns do it already, they just can't consecrate the host or hear confessions, but they do most everything a priest does. It is just polictics, plain and stupid.

Thats your opinion.....Mine is, if you have no shame, no fear, and feel no guilt, you're a sociopath (the medical field uses the term psychopath)

A person with an antisocial personality disorder, manifested in aggressive (no fear), perverted, criminal, or amoral behavior, (no shame) without empathy or remorse(no guilt).
a person afflicted with a personality disorder characterized by a tendency to commit antisocial and sometimes violent acts and a failure to feel guilt for such acts Also called sociopath.

I'll go with the experts.

Medical term for sociopath is not psychopath..
Given that both conditions are considered to be borderline personality disorders or personality disorders, therefore untreatable, they are not medical conditions and have no medical title to describe them.

Rather depends on what one means by 'medical'. In a world of quacks and charlatans, of 'aroma therapy', of 'homeopathy' and other 'pathys' and of curative and preventative medicine, herbal and chemical treatments, of psychoanalysis and the labelling of children as suffering from Attention Deficit Disorder, of Pervasive Development Disorder, etc etc ad nauseam, the term 'medical becomes less and less significant.
Labels are still necessary. It is much easier to say that someone is a sociopath than to spend time describing behaviour traits that he/she exhibits, that might be disruptive to society.
Sociopaths are qite dangerous to the smooth running of society since the tend to lack the conscience and responsibility to and for other people that the rest of us take for granted.
We have a member of our family who saw no reason and carries no guilt to this day for not attending his own father's funeral because he had 'other things to do' he also honestly believes that he has a right to take things that do not belong to him simply because the owner is not using it. (not money incidentally). When asked about a missing family heirloom and repeatedly lying, he said that he took it because no one else took it so it became his.
It may not be a medical term, it may not be 'treatable' but it certainly deserves a name and people need that name so they can be warned.

the entire bible is a man made construct. the catholic church has been around for about 2000 years and they believe their doctrine to be divinely inspired.

they can't consecrate the host because they dont have magic finger powers unlike the men. The church for 1500 years has believed male priests have magic finger powers of making ghost jesus go into the bread. They just wave their hands over it and speak some latin and poof.. zombie jesus bread.

All of a sudden you think women should have magic finger powers to? Sorry it doesn't work that way. Having beliefs and convictions in the supernatural means you can't just go "oooh yeahhhh the magic finger powers apply to women too." only men have magic finger ghost jesus powers... not women.

What about transgendered folks?
It gets a tad confusing !
Is zombie Jesus the little baby zombie Jesus or the drunken zombie Jesus diluting the wine at the wedding cos him and his mukkers guzzled too much when the brides parents weren't looking?
Did a brawl ensue, each set of in laws blaming the other for the drunken behaviour of drunkenzombie Jesus and his gang of wedding crashers/disciples?
Damn!!
They should write a book about it!
