EXCEPT IT IS
On the protesting too much score, the latest bit about how calling the ordination of women a grave sin or dereliction of something (even more serious than pedophilia) justifications ring as hollow as Notre Dame's bell. It gets the 'You have to be kidding me' award.

When the church is more about it's own self than about Jesus' message it is in trouble. Serious trouble.
When priests care more about self-preservation of their institution over the very Gospel message it has lost its way.
Ordaining women is not as serious as molesting a child for which "it will be better for him than if a millstone were tied around his neck and he was cast into the sea." In other words- Jesus words for those who commit pedophilia is- just drown the bastards because that's what I am going to do when they come knocking.
Putting the ordination of women in the same category to justify the persistent sexism of the church in disrespecting women, abusing them, trashing them, and dumping them is so off the wall as to be not worth dignifying with ten seconds of a blog post- and yet I must- because it's too crazy to let the old OP Queens get away with it.
Here is what else is sexist- showing someone the door because one of the friars is 'distracted' by the attractiveness allegedly of a Third Order lay woman, making Dawn Eden sell her record collection and jewelry for her theology degree instead of getting it free on the Knights like all the friars, and harassing with police action someone who could conflict thoughts verging on the impure of clergy. SEXIST. INSULTING. DISRESPECTFUL and DISGUSTING.
