But only for Church's old boys,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Not a banner-carrying,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], bra-burning,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], foot-stamping militant, you realize. However i fancied I would be part of a generation of females able eventually to break using that legendary glass ceiling - through which we all gazed ambitiously - and make a difference.
Older and wiser, we - the once driven and excitedly hopeful - now know better. There was no glass ceiling. It was an illusion. And still is.
It certainly is as far as the Church of England is concerned. The CofE just proved its ceiling to become bricked over solidly and firmly against even a glimpse of what may be possible for a lady of merit.
Top positions, that for women who live trained and worked hard - for which they are eminently qualified by virtue of talent and motivation - could never be achieved. Physiology makes it impossible.
So, now we all understand that those key roles a lot of women had aimed for hadn't been seen through glass ceilings at all. Ambitious females had been gazing on pretty paintings,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], separating reality from fantasy and keeping hopeful women alert.
The Church has decided, in its twisted wisdom, that gay, married clergy will be accepted as bishops,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so long as they remain celibate.
Women - gay, straight, spinsters of the parish,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], married,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], messianic or anything between - won't. Since they're women.
Justification for that Church's latest move towards inevitable self-destruction is it must remain true to its traditionalists,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Not really a fake stained glass ceiling to toss the suspicious from the scent here.
This Christian fellowship now feels openly comfortable in asking its key leaders,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], carers, counsellors and preachers of Gospel teachings of equality, faith, humility and honesty, to lie about who they are.
Though in a stable, loving,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], legally recognised relationship; sharing a home,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], hopes and dreams for a long term future, couples is going to be asked to promise to remain chaste.
Not only is that a cruel betrayal of exactly what the Church itself endorses as love in marriage,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it's blatantly deceitful in the ludicrous tries to fast-track men - any men - to top jobs which will keep women at bay.
In one fell,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], foolish swoop, the Church has managed to offend and devalue just about everybody and betray its reason for unhindered inclusion.
Precisely who is going to police these domestic arrangements? The Anglican Inquisition? Will hooded spies creep around, peering through bedroom windows at night?
Of course not. Because none of the power figures within this now discredited,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], near to irrelevant and increasingly exclusive Church club cares such a man in its midst does or doesn't do in the private life.
They care that he keeps a woman from taking his devote public life. For all those up high in any church, it appears to be okay to lie,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cheat as well as steal for that glory of God. And then they've the gall to express that they're "seeking the Truth".
