text: Until the church declares and demonstrates that women and men are equal as persons "...in the church and in the world", it actually rates as an abuser and enabler.
  It is not only the exclusion of women from the clerical state and hierarchy but their rationale(s). It extends beyond the clerical and church to the family, community and the world, from one idiotic opinion and metaphor to another and all elevated to "authoritative teaching", diminution, exclusion and the emotional as well as emotionless misogyny.
  Women of all faiths and none; of all nations, cultures need the Roman Catholic Church to step-up and step-in.
