The actions of Archbishop Burke reflect why American Catholics are in favor of change within the church. Sixty-five percent of Catholics support women priests. The people have spoken and are rejecting the church of man-made laws in favor of a church that is loving, inclusive, and emphasizes the teaching of Jesus. The people reject a church that coddles pedophile priests, ignores their criminal behavoir and has spent to date over a billion in settlements to victims who have suffered from clerical abuse. Barbara Dorris, Outreach Coordinator for Surviviors Network of those Abused by Priests, said in a letter to the Editor of the St. Louis Dispatch: "In Archbishop Burke’s eyes, apparently, women acting like priests is a greater crime than men acting like criminals."
The Roman Catholic Womenpriests initiative is bringing equality and renewal to the church we love, and to all the holy people of God who have been hurt, marginalized, and ostracized in the name of Jesus Christ, who always and everywhere said, as we do, that ALL ARE WELCOME.
