Reply #28: LOL That's why I believe that if significant roles were open for women [View All]

in our faith (Catholicism), we could perhaps quell the dominant men's quest for political power outside the faith, i.e., they'd be too concerned about women having too much control to get involved in govt. Yes, that would be a GOOD THING.

It's so difficult for me to find the strength to attend mass every week and on Holy Days of Obligation given the awful embarrassment the senior American leaders (Bishops) and some Priest have done to FORCE our faith on others and our secular Country's rule of law.

The main ingredient that keeps me going is the good character of our Parish Priest and the fact that we do good works for the poor, elderly and dying (hospice program).

Because of the above, I am able to not allow our Bishop's political activism chase me away. But yes, I'm ashamed and embarrassed that he would do this in our name. :(
