It does, and I appreciate the detailed response. I know this kind of thing is really personal for a lot of people. I hope I didn't come across as accusing religious husbands of treating their wives badly, because I didn't mean to imply that at all, just using examples in the texts that obviously don't hold up in modern day.

But for me, I can't shake the feeling that regarding the priesthood and Mother Mary thing, this sounds a whole lot like "separate, but equal." Only the argument here is that it is truly equal, although separate, and therefore okay. And this puts an uncomfortable (at least to me) importance on childbearing as the woman's role.

But I think that may be because I don't have belief or a higher goal in mind when looking at the structures. Like you say it stopped mattering because you realized something else (getting closer to God) was more important than the details by a magnitude that made it them irrelevant in a religious sense, but to a non-Catholic without that overriding driving goal the human details are all we have? I don't know if I like the idea of human details being eclipsed by a higher faith, but I don't know a higher faith to be able to say whether I'd be the same

You didn't come across that way at all, no worries.

As I wrote my response, the two points you mention (childbearing/human details) did make me pause, because I definitely see what you're saying. While i don't have a response, it's definitely worth pondering. I always saw a woman's ability to carry life within herself as something powerful (and many matriarchial religions focused on the life bearing), but i can see the importance placed on that leading to certain expectations of womamhood. In regards to the second point, I've been taught that God pervades all the circumstances and human details, so in a way, they are not irrelevant. He meets me in my circumstances, which includes all the human details. In my own experience (which grows and changes over time), I hope that God can answer to these human details, because my experiences are not only purely metaphysical, or spiritual, but they occur in the Flesh. so while there are things that are eclipsed for me (which as you pointed out, aren't for others), there are still details that I await, hope, and expect an answer for. And that is part of my own journey.

Thanks for pointing those things out. I definitely can see where you're coming from. If I contradicted myself at some points, forgive me.
