Abstract: Faced with the vicissitudes of life and the vulnerability of man in the society, constant efforts are made to preserve one‟s being so that total annihilation could be averted. As such, whenever man‟s life is threatened by disease and other misfortunes, various steps are employed to exterminate the sources of danger.

Abstract: As a religious expression, a priest is referred to a person that serves as a link between the world of human beings and the world of the divine.

This singular practice points to the reality of gender inequality in the Roman Catholic Church. The pertinent questions now are: Why are women being excluded from the Roman Catholic priesthood?
