I just want to repeat the OP.
“Hey! This is a really quick question but I couldn’t find any real discussion about it. I don’t know much about Catholicism but are women allowed to be bosses? And have authority over men that way? I know the Bible has some verses about women not having authority over men but I’ve been told they just mean the priesthood. thanks!”
The OP’s question was simple. Does the Catholic Church allow women to be bosses.
The answer is also simple. Yes women are allowed to be bosses.
How did we get round to talking about the Queen or other non-Catholics. The religion of a woman is totally irrelevant to the question.
Whenever you get a group of fairly intelligent people together, and they start talking, the conversation can easily move in a direction that wasn’t expected when the conversation began. Intelligent people use analogies, bring up examples of something that proves (or disproves) the matter at hand, and are able to use something that
is known to arrive at an answer to something that is
not known. Anyone who has ever received any sort of education, beyond rote memorization or job training, knows precisely what I am talking about. Even in the study of calculus, examples are used to demonstrate concepts of change and motion.
I find the vigilance of some on CAF to keep things strictly “on-topic” to be probably the only thing that I really “dislike” about CAF, but there is a lot of good to be had here, and I am not about to delete my profile, and cease contributing, just because there’s one “policy” that is not to my liking. So I adhere to it the best I can. Not always crazy about doing that, but that’s just the reality of the situation.
So… if using an analogy that brings in a materially heretical monarch who, just like the rest of us, is not perfect, is disagreeable, the let’s cast that aside. Let’s consider, for instance, Queen Isabella of Spain. She certainly was a Catholic monarch. Or maybe Mother Teresa or Mother Angelica of EWTN. Were they not “bosses”? If they should not have been “bosses” because they were female, please explain your reasoning.
I hope this addresses the matter.
