A key Biblical passage which has been used to prevent women from being ordained is not original and was added later, an academic has claimed. 

The section of Corinthians which says women must remain silent in church has been used to justify restricting the priesthood to men.

But recent research has suggested that the passage was not written by the Apostle Paul, as is widely believed, but was instead added later.
