Striking Roman Catholic statistics on men and women in religious life...

...via the National Catholic Reporter:

According to the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate, in 2014 the United States had about 4,300 active religious brothers, while religious priests numbered close to 12,000, diocesan priests about 26,000, and religious sisters nearly 50,000.

Did you add those numbers up?

That's 50,000 women in religious life, versus 42,300 men (= 4,300 + 12,000 + 26,000).

Just another way of highlighting how restricted roles for women is crap, esp. considering how numerically they contribute more.
