Meaning of 1 Timothy 2

[noson]

1 Timothy 2 says:

9 Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, [g]modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments, 10 but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness. 11 A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. 12 But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. 13 For it was Adam who was first [h]created, and then Eve. 14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. 15 But women will be [j]preserved through the bearing of children if they continue in faith and love and sanctity with [k]self-restraint.

How are we to make sense of this? How does the Catholic Church interpret the following phrases?

1. A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness
2. But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet
3. But women will be preserved through the bearing of children

How are we to make sense of this? How does the Catholic Church interpret the following phrases?

Disciplinary norms which were appropriate to a particular time and place, but which don’t rise to the level of doctrinal / dogmatic requirements for the Church.

Notice that Paul doesn’t say “the church doesn’t allow”, but rather “I do not allow.” I would go out on a limb and say that he’s asserting something well within his rights as a bishop – with respect to the communities which he leads – rather than something that he asserts that all bishops must follow as dogma.
