Well, found the Catholic :)
I don't feel like getting into a religious debate today, so I'm going to keep this short. The Catholic Church, which has existed for 2000-odd years, is therefore operating with rules, procedures, traditions, and "that's just the way its done" that span 2000-odd years. Many of those have a basis in theology - either from the beginning or created as justification or enforcement. For much of those 2000-odd years, yes, women were essentially property. Sometimes literally and legally property. So, when considering anything about how the Church operates, the historical context should be kept in mind, including when appropriate the historical role and rights of women. Because often, you can trace back any particular thing to an actual historical event, decision, cultural trend, etc if you feel like doing the research.
This concept applies more broadly of course, because that's human nature. But it's more interesting to look at it in context of something like the Catholic Church, both because it's 2000 years of history and because of the sheer scope of influence the Church has had on history and the lives of ordinary people.
Also, I'm slightly evil and I find it funny when people freak out when you point this stuff out.
