God bless him.
after filling "fifty percent of leadership roles with Catholic feminists" what should they fill the other 50% with?
What is their problem? The Church is a patriarchal institution and shall always be. Jesus picked only men to be his apostles for a good reason.

Can't believe people want to put this out there.
Almost feel sorry for this womanchurch poster. "Bridget" is in for a major clue by four pummeling in the near future
....I predict that the election of Pope Benedict XVI will pour fresh energy into the Roman Catholic church reform movement. Women will be ordained to a renewed priestly ministry by women bishops. Women and men will continue to model partnership and equality in grassroots communities around the world. Feminist theology will flourish. A new egalitarian Catholic church rooted in Jesus' teaching and example will continue to grow. May Pope Benedict XVI experience a change of heart and open the windows of the church, like his predecessor John XXIII, to a more open, equal and just church....
Every time I read about these rabid Catholic feministas I get the feeling that they're the heirs apparent to those mean old nuns who used to wield yardsticks like samurai warriors.

Ah, the notorious prophetess Mary E. Hunt, former wife of Mike. World-renowned for standing on a table at a convention and shouting:
"If anyone wants to know what's wrong with the Church today, just look at Mike Hunt!!!"
It's about the enormous holes in their souls. They think with those holes and how to fill them. The answer, of course, is at the foot of the Cross.
They are too self-centered, self-absorbed and full of self-hatred and arrogance to go to the Source of Life. The women's lib movement has sold them a bill of goods. It told them that their answers are in political movements.
I wonder how long it will be before they realize the futility of their search for soul-fillers in politics.
If these creatures had even a shred of intellectual honesty, they'd quit calling themselves "Catholic".
From the number of threads and posts it would seem that this "forum" is generating about as much interest as a single FR religion thread on a slow day.
Don't dignify these people with attention and publicity.
It's obvious that this is another classic case of a small group of dissenters making a lot of noise.
I think one of the biggest problems facing Catholicism is the lack of real men in its midst.
Women are the ones taking their kids to Mass, offering to teach religious instruction, convening this function or that function. That women are the general driving force of the laity is a big, big problem. If it continues apace, what we think we've achieved by the election of Pope Benedict XVI might be a fleeting victory.
Something has to be done to increase, appeal to and enflame the masculine laity.
I think the real problem here is these gals hate men. They actually feel that they are inferior. My dad never made me feel inferior because I was his fifth daughter. He also had two sons. He treated us all alike and loved us unconditionally.
They need our prayers, but I doubt they would actually wish for them. They seem to be under the influence of pagan gods (UIPG).
Hell, I couldn't even read it....
