Worlds Without Women
By MAUREEN DOWD
WASHINGTON
Excerpt
"Negating women is at the heart of the church’s hideous — and criminal — indifference to the welfare of boys and girls in its priests’ care.
...No wonder that, having closed themselves off from women and everything maternal, they treated children as collateral damage, a necessary sacrifice to save face for Mother Church.
... Crimes were swept under the rectory rug, and molesters were protected to molest again for the “good of the universal church.” And that is bad, very bad — a mortal sin.
...The church has had theological schisms. This is an emotional schism. The pope is morally compromised. Take it from a sister."
