If you said "Adán y Eva" they would know who you were talking about. Did you know that men have an Adam's Apple because a little chunk of the forbidden fruit got stuck in his throat?
Does this mean that women are sinless?
No, I don't think so.

And I agree our polemics should not be directed against popular piety, as though some village cura knew more than Ratzinger. That being said, though, the people who believe these things also have to be gently awakened from their drastic errors, and at some point their priests are certainly not doing this.
