women's role in the church and other contentious man-made church policies

Anyone that thinks that "women's role in the church" is a man-made policy that is changable doesn't understand the role of the priest in the Church, period.

It is just so pathetically sad that even some that attend Mass weekly don't understand what they are witnessing.

These people haven't a clue that the Catholic Mass is of a fundamentally different character than any other religious ritual (with the possible exception of the Orthodox liturgy)

Its bizarre, it would be akin to holding season tickets for a football team and not knowing what a touchdown was, it boggles the mind, but of course orders of magnitude more important.

Cuomo either doesn't know or doesn't care that Protestants reject the whole idea of the priesthood as we and the Orthodox understand it. So it doesn't matter to them who administers the Sacrament. They reject the mass as we understand it and, really, so does Cuomo. Theologically liberal "Catholics" like Cuomo are really liberal Protestants.
