I do not think the healing church in itself was a highly patriarchal institution or whatever (i just do not think that if it was. Most of its high ranking members we know of wouldve been women) but i do think it did somewhat trace a line between the types of women. Aside from the obvious class thing (there are the healing church members and the low ignorant masses), they did definitively did distinguish between those who were worthy to access to the secret knowledge (the clergy and choir members) and those who weren't and whose most important job would have been to be a lab rat and receptacle (blood saints)

#or at least that's the choir mentality. its like byrgenwerth but on religious crack #iosefka's blood vial does imply that like. blood saint production wasn't just a thing that was created and then never improved #but something that was getting actively researched and whose formula was getting changed #also saint adeline's (and the research hall patients as a whole)... horrible treatment does show how blood saints are more lab rats #(or at least born as lab rats)#bloodborne #sorry its very disjointed. as an excuse i quite literally just disjointed my tooth irl
