And the reason is that the patriarchal governance of the Church is not covert at all. It's completely overt. The Church makes no pretense of pretending it's even-handed. I should have made this point. You made it very well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00111660094586126379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184575347466163757.post-83747666909688231092012-02-28T19:14:14.830-06:002012-02-28T19:14:14.830-06:00*standing up and clapping*

They can moralize to women all day long because in the end, what can the women do? There are no women in the hierarchy so there's no harm, really, in isolating, insulting, and patronizing them with edicts on their behavior. Besides, as you noted, the majority of Catholic women have (rightly) been ignoring it decades. Start wagging your finger at MEN, on the other hand...<br /><br />And lest not forget these are UNmarried men making these decisions. Unmarried men who've never had to (outwardly) bear the responsibility of raising kids so by God, you better have as many as possible because we know best. We'll pray for you and yours. <br /><br />Bastards. <br /><br />Sorry, rambled...I hope I made some sense.Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16310224569736431703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184575347466163757.post-861393720514600782012-02-12T12:33:27.876-06:002012-02-12T12:33:27.876-06:00Well, Delores, thank you.
