"In U.S. churches, attendance is down, and the average age of congregants is up.
The percentage of congregations with average weekend worship attendance of 100 or fewer inched up from 42% to 49% over the decade. More than a quarter of congregations had 50 or fewer people attending in 2010...The percentage of congregations with majorities of members from racial and ethnic groups, often including immigrants, grew from 23 percent to 30 percent over the decade. These congregations are disproportionately non-Christian or evangelical Protestant. They also tend to have younger members."

Can we see Christ in men of all ages and races yet fail to see him in half the human race? We know that both mean and women are made in God's image (Genesis 1;27) and our priesthood should reflect this. St Paul had no problem with a woman being an apostle (see Romans 16;7).
