There are many women Tulkus, and Lamas, and Bodhisattvas.
My Lama's Lama runs a Nunnery, so I know quite a bit about Nuns.
I don't think we're going to be able to discuss much more, to be honest, you have one view, I have another.
I've already explained HH 14 DL's meat eating to you; it's for medical reasons.
Yes, I do call him Holy, I call HH 5 DL Holy, despite what he did to my school.
Those were things of the times.
Would you not call the Pope a holy man, despite the Crusades?
(Though I'd hesitate to call all of them Holy, some of them were purely political and greedy).
Anyway, if you get caught up in history, you cannot see the present or the future. And that's what Buddhism is about. Live in the present.
We need our past to remind us what not to do, but we don't need to get lost in it and consumed by an obsession about how terrible things are because of it.
Which kind of seems to be where you're headed.
