Well, let's see. I wrote:

Sexism is discrimination or devaluation based on a person's gender. When
you suggest that male bishops are somehow less capable of doing their jobs
because they are men, that's discrimination based on their gender. It's
sexism. Since that is your opinion, your opinion is sexist.

Now, that's coherent. And it answers your question as to why your comment
was sexist. Now, if you can't understand what I've written, perhaps I
should type it out more slowly for you.

Yes, you did ask a specific question. And I gave you a specific answer. I wrote:

The question is irrelevent since there can be no women priests and
therefore no women bishops.

I then went on to anticipate variations of your question and answer them as
well. I wrote:

However, if you're asking me whether women can be guilty of sex- related
crimes, then the answer is yes. If you're asking me if women can be guilty
of criminal negligence, then the answer is also yes. And
if you're asking me whether a woman can guilty of obstruction of justice,
then the answer is yes.

So, there you go. Questions asked and answered.
