Monsignor Pope, ping!

The Church depicted as a woman?? Would this be the same woman as in Rev.12? That suffered persecution?

I like the comment on that thread by "MV" which might stand for Michael Vorris.

Its an effective take-down of this article.

"There are notorious holdouts—especially among women religious, the Jesuits and the universities they influence (along with others like them), wide swaths of academic theologians, and some sectors of Catholic health and social services."

Included among those holdouts is the entire USCCB, of which Msgr Pope's superior, Donna Cardinal Wuerl, is a member.

The bible says New Jerusalem will come down out of heaven as a bride. (Revelation 21:2)

The bible nowhere says it is the “church.”

I read this article yesterday and really felt for Msgr. Pope. Sometimes I think that the world can be divided into two kinds of people: those who are in a FUSS, and those who aren’t. It’s hard for everyone, from parents to priests, to deal with the fuss-people.
