Religion & Law

With Michael P., I pray that God help us, that He guide our leaders, giving them holiness, courage, and wisdom.  A couple of questions for Michael.

1)  Michael, are you suggesting that women are sinless?  (There is a precedent, but she is currently busy mourning the misguided actions of the male president of her university).  Or, are you suggesting that women sin differently than men so that while we might have avoided the abuse scandal, our human frailty (including the frailty of the bishops) would have manifested in other ways?

2)  Does the type of civility in dialogue that we are attempting to achieve on this blog extend to civility toward the successors to the apostles?  Your post reads more like a rant against authority rather than a reasoned argument for - what - women priests and bishops?  married priests and bishops?  a change (development?) in the doctrine regarding human sexuality?  All three are implicated in your two line opening but you don't develop any of the arguments.
