Catholics don't consider themselves "just" a denomination, and many non-Catholic believers don't consider the Catholic entity to be Christian at all because of their many contra-biblical claims.
The message of the Catholic entity is not the same as that of most non-Catholic churches. I would encourage you to do some homework on the subject.

Is it possible he was citing a civil Roman law? I think Corinth was the administrative capitol of the province.
The Greeks allegedly kept women quite restricted in public.
Paul did cover things sometimes that only make sense in their original context.
Like that line about people being baptised for the dead. It sounds Pagan to us now.

The new testament gives advice to slaves on how they should behave because slavery was an accepted custom. It doesn't mean that the Bible advocates slavery. The custom of the time saw women as second class citizens and the advice given concerning them does not mean that the Bible advocates treating women as second class citizens. If a woman gets in front of a congregation and starts spewing out truths concerning the gospel and is filled with love for her brothers and sisters in Christ, how can anyone argue with what she has done? The first will be last and the last will be first when there is a tie and that means that everyone is treated equally. The apostles and those who have died for their faith deservedly will have a higher station in the kingdom of heaven. Women just like men will be judged the same way. We need to repent, trust in Jesus' death for the forgiveness of sins, and be filled with the Holy Spirit which fills our hearts with love.

Here's my suspicion, unconfirmed at this point...
Verses 34-35 were not written by Paul, but quoted by him, likely from the letter written to him. The citation of "as also sayeth the law" is from someone in Corinth who was attempting to suppress females, and was referring to a rabbinic law, not a Mosaic law, to do so. Paul's response in verse 36 ("What? ...") makes perfect sense as he completely eviscerates the attempt. Far from restricting females, Paul is actually affirming their full participation in the ministry of the local church.
Of course, this stands in direct contradiction to the traditional interpretation, but in my view, it makes far better sense of the passage, and of Paul's letters as a whole.

Paul is not referring to a specific verse but to a general application of what the law says about the behavior of women in the O.T. Gen 3:16 tells the woman,
"Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.”
This has not changed. This is the same argument Paul uses in 1 Tim 2:11-14 where he discusses the same matter of women remaining silent in the assembly which was addressed to the Church at Ephesus. It is quite clear that this is the principle of law to which Paul is referring in 1 Cor 14.

Actually, he sent her to tell the apostles that he had risen. It was the apostles whom Jesus entrusted with the gospel in Matthew 28. There was not a woman among them. Bear in mind that Paul is NOT forbidding women from sharing the gospel. What he is commanding the women is that they are to keep silent IN THE ASSEMBLY.

And so you should! There are many churches down the road that will welcome talented and gifted women with open arms. With regard to churches that discourage women's ministry - their loss is another church's gain! I believe that bullying women into silence in churches is nothing less than spiritual abuse.

God and his very clear words are now the big bully and spiritual abuser
1 Corinthians 14:33-35KJV
33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
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.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
