Women in Religion
The largest religious institutions are run by men; they limit women in leadership roles and personal behavior. These restrictions run the gamut from not being able to lead a church to not being able to leave your house. Will cultural and social changes or changes in theology move these religions to be more accepting of women?

Changes in the Church
On January 1st, 2012, Pope Benedict XVI established the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter. This new diocese allows for Anglicans and Episcopalians to join fully with the Roman Catholic Church, including married priests. Does this contradict the church’s stance on celibacy?
