In the Roman Catholic Church the doctrine is that only men can be priests - the basis for this is that Christ only 'appointed' male apostles to follow him.

Does the Roman Catholic Church believe in old traditions regarding gender roles?

No, not as far as i know. The only difference between husband and wife regarding their rights and duties should build on the biological differences, according to the catechism of the catholic church. Women can not be priests though because for us, the priest becomes representative for jesus in the euchrasty and a woman cant embody a man.
