Women keeping silence in church

[Ransom]

Fine.

What if the woman's husband is not competent? Is she barred from asking of a prophet?

So your "engagement on the meaning" is to ask rhetorical questions about edge cases? Yawn.

It's not a rhetorical question at all, LOL. You're just trying to avoid it.

The answer to the question will be based on what you think is the intent and meaning of the passage.

So just answer it. Is the married woman barred from learning from a prophet if her husband is not competent to give an answer?

Nowhere does Paul say women can't learn from a prophet. Your question is stupid and irrelevant.

Once the abuses of the Church in Corinth are understood, the command for women to be silent will be understood.

This wasn't written to the Romans, or to the Galatians or Colossians.

But to a church that suffered the sin of incest in one set of its members.

My first memories of a pastor is of a woman pastor. I only remember her as Sister Foster. She started a Sunday school during WWII. Qualified men were overseas. My grandmother was saved in Foster's Sunday school, and when my grandfather returned from Europe, so was he.

After the war, when the surviving men returned, they organized into a church, but they retained Foster as a pastor, under the authority of the elders. She pastored until her death in the early 70s. She was succeeded by a man, who pastored 40 years, who was then succeeded by my cousin, who is still serving.

And? Still doesn't make it SCRIPTURALLY right. Your hermaneutical and exegetical skills are truly lacking, Catholic!
