MoDo get medieval on Catholic hierarchy
Because despite the harshness of Ms. Do's attacks, they are not directed at the good people who worship faithfully but toward an overfed and over privileged hierarchy that has lost its way and strayed from the teachings of its founder.
The poll appeared on the same day as headlines about Catholic Church leaders fighting President Obama’s attempt to get insurance coverage for contraception for women who work or go to college at Catholic institutions. The church insists it’s an argument about religious freedom, not birth control. But, really, it’s about birth control, and women’s lower caste in the church. It’s about conservative bishops targeting Democratic candidates who support contraception and abortion rights as a matter of public policy. And it’s about a church that is obsessed with sex in ways it shouldn’t be, and not obsessed with sex in ways it should be.Let no man arrayed in silver and gold on a dress of satin and lace tell you what is right for you, he doesn't know.
The bishops and the Vatican care passionately about putting women in chastity belts. Yet they let unchaste priests run wild for decades, unconcerned about the generations of children who were violated and raped and passed around like communion wine.
