men were the head of the church
I'm uncertain what the question is specifically asking. But there is Scripture to say women should NOT be in any leadership role during a church service.
1 Corinthians 14:34 --Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.

What arguments are there for having women priests?
Note that female priests exist already in some Christian denominations with apostolic succession, e.g. Anglican/Episcopal. Some break-away Roman Catholic groups also have female priests. Most Protestant denominations allow female pastors/ministers, but most do not have apostolic succession and thus do not have priests.In terms of Roman Catholicism, the arguments made in favor of female priests are:- Jesus himself made no distinction between men and women of his followers; Mary Magdalene has been reviled as a "prostitute" since the Middle Ages, but a modern non-misogynistic view of the Gospels do not regard her as revilable or reviled--indeed, Jesus favored her.- There is no clear scriptural basis for excluding women from the priesthood.- In the early Christian church until ca. 400 AD, female priests and congregation leaders were common.- With the shortage of male priests becoming acute, opening the Catholic priesthood to women would make it possible for the Church to more of God's work more efficiently and minister to more people.- Women already occupy leadership positions in all churches, and women who become nuns have already taken on 99% of the commitments asked of male priests.
Who made the kind James Bible?
The Authorized King James Version of the Bible is a translation of the Christian Bible that was begun in 1604 and eventually published in 1611 by the Church of England. It was originally printed by Robert barker, printer to the King (James 1st of England and 6th of Scotland) This was the third official translation of the Bible into English; the first having been the Great Bible commissioned again by the newly formed Church of England in the reign of King Henry VIII, and the second being the Bishop's Bible of 1568. There were earlier translations into English, of course, the first being that of Wycliffe in 1382, but his translation was banned in 1409 because of his association with the Lollards, a group that spoke out against (and not without good reason) perceived corruption in the Church . In January 1604 King James convened a conference at Hampton Court near London, where a new English version was decided upon because of some objections to some passages in earlier translations that offended the Puritans, a faction within the Church of England, as they thought the specific passages poorly translated. The king gave the translators instructions to guarantee that the new version would conform to the new church of England doctrines, which were different from the Roman Church as this church, the king believed, had become corrupt and had adopted certain beliefs that were contrary to God's original plan, and the doctrines of the early Christians. The translation was undertaken by 47 scholars, all of whom were members of the Church of England. As with most other contemporary translations of the period, the New Testament was translated from the "Testus Receptus" (Received Text) series of the original Greek texts. The Old Testament was was translated from the masoretic Text Hebrew text, while the Apocrypha was translated from the Greek Septuagint (LXX), except for 2 Esdras, which was translated from the Latin Vulgate. Nowadays, because of the difficulty in understanding some of the archaic words of the King James version of the Bible, more modern translations are used more frequently, especially the New International Version, the Good News Bible and the New King James Version. However, the King James version is still much used especially in the evangelical wing of the church in America, as well as in many other protestant Christian churches across the world.

Why should women be Catholic priests?
Some people would say why not. The arguments against are divided into two sections. The first is that Jesus didn't choose any women to be his apostles and so, by example we should have men as priests. Another is that it is tradition - we have never had women priests so why start now? As the question is about Catholic priests (not other Christian traditions) it might be useful to see whether the church is consistent with its handling of other situations - married priests for example. Several of the men Jesus chose to follow him were married. Currently the church will accept married men who, as priests, convert from another church and allow them to continue as priests. The church will not allow an unmarried priest to marry. The basic question here is would God call a woman to be a priest? If it is God's will then how can the church deny it? The difficulty here is who decides whether it is God's will or not and what would be the outcome if things changed? As only men can be priests and the hierarchy of the church is made up of priests the leadership is, by definition, men. So, the decision about who should be priests is made by men. There is always a fear that changes in the church would cause division and weaken the position of the church - however with some countries having a very low Catholic church attending population the power of the church has already been significantly eroded. Some would say that having women priests could even strengthen the church.
