Father Roy Bourgeois whose support for women’s ordination has him in trouble with the Catholic Church ratcheted up his confrontation with the hierarchy yesterday, August 24, 2009.
“If they choose to kick me out of the church because I believe that men and women are equal, so be it,” Bourgeois said. “I will never be at peace being in any organization that would exclude others.
Me either.
Amen.

I see what you did there! 🙂
Yes, I suppose it is a top-down organization. However, there have been times in the past when it has responded to pressure from the rank and friar, I mean file.
No it is because of the ignorance and stupidity both sides will spit forth on this “debate”. Not looking forward to it.
I don’t really have strong opinions on it other than those in religious life take vows to follow the Bishops. (I mean I have more than that but you can’t get me liquored up enough to wade into this debate outside of an academic setting).
Just out of curiosity, was that an “Ugh, I can’t believe the institution that I love so much and hold in such high respect would be so backward on this issue,” or “Ugh, I wish Juliana would cut it out with crapping on the Catholic Church because otherwise my head may explode all over my keyboard”?
ugh…
