First of all, the Catholic church was wrong - women don't have souls any
more than men do.  Second, if I was insinuating anything, it was the
church's attitude to the "human-ness" of women, which required the meeting
in the first place.  But really, I was asking a simple chronological
question, and how Ron could take it off into the regions he did is beyond
me!

And BTW, it was decided that women were human by only one vote!
