text: Pope Francis really is rather slick. Love his "hand-off" of Card. Burke and the recent posters.
  However, the bold decisive, pivotal acknowledgement of the full peership of women and men "...in the church and in the world", continues to elude him. 
  "Working out the details" might take generations, but the church does not have generations to address the de facto acknowledgment and rational consequences.  The majority no longer agree that women's "otherness" is "lesser" but, increasingly as peers and, yes, competitors. Difference means accommodation, not exclusion.  
  The diminishing numbers who retain the "traditional" view are misogynists, rote followers and radical fundamentalists. Criminally, our church belongs to the "diminishing numbers".  As participants in the diminishing number, the church is a contributor to and facilitator of the supression of, violence against and the sexual abuse of women "...in the church and in the world".
  "We" must extricate ourselves from that group.
