I have a friend who's quite liberal. An avid Obama supporter and Jim Wallis fan. His theology is stuck in the 7o's 'Jesus people' mode. Thinks Jesus would be crossing the border with the illegals and such. I believe he would celebrate the LCWR efforts. Sad reallly.
These wymyn are an embarrassment to the Church (and to any thinking person, really). Their nonsense has been allowed to go on for far too long, for a number of reasons which, as socialist political agitators, they do not understand.
These wymyn think of everything in terms of Power and Dialectic. They do not understand how the Church functions. It is not a corporation, the Pope is not a CEO and the College of Cardinals is not a Board of Directors. Church discipline is not frank punishment but repeated calls to repentance. The Church is not interested in punishment but in trying to save these poor people's souls - every lost sheep by any possible means.
But the wymyn think that their evasions and disobedience have been effective, and they happily believe that they have gotten away with it. Wrong.
The wheels of justice grind slow, but they grind exceeding fine. The assignment of a commission and putting Abp. Sartain (who is an iron fist in a velvet glove) in charge is the beginning of the end.
I am not a bishop and not in the CDF, and that's a good thing because I would have called in air strikes by now.
