Bridget Mary's Response:
It is ludicrous that the Vatican is so threatened by our women priests' movement that it is excommunicating and expelling men like Tony Flannery and Roy Bourgeois from religious orders, both faithful, prophetic, male priests who are addressing sexism in our church. Neither priests have done anything wrong, unlike the the bishops who protected thousands of pedophiles. The Vatican has not issued any excommunications in response to these crimes. This is the real scandal that is rocking the church. Soon another shocking documentary, "Mea Maxima Culpa" which recounts the sexual abuse of hundreds of deaf boys in a Catholic School in Miluwakee will air on HBO. There is something very wrong with a hierarchy and aVatican that does not see the elephant in its own living room. Jesus would weep over the tragic state of the Catholic Church. Let us continue to work for renewal and a "holy shakeup" of our church.
