There is evidence that the exclusion of women from roles of religious authority is an obstacle to the *integral human development of both men and women*. It is, therefore, an obstacle to sustainable development. Religious institutions in which worship is always presided by a male are part of the problem, and should reconsider the pastoral harm they are doing and the theology being used to rationalize the perpetuation of male-only religious hierarchies. This applies, in particular, to the Roman Catholic Church, but is common to most religions worldwide.
