DOES the Prime Minister seriously believe that many women will be silly enough to alter their voting intentions regarding the forthcoming general or any other election as a result of his elevating more of their gender into ministerial positions?

And now that the Anglican Church has decreed that a woman can be in charge of a diocese, will the term ‘bishopric’ still be considered appropriate?

As for Pope Francis’ apparent confession that as many as one in 50 members of the Catholic clergy may be paedophiles, bless him.
