Stephan:   I think these women are wonderful. The male side of the church is defined by financial corruption and paedophilia, and its cover up, as well highly political anti-choice, anti-contraception, anti-LGBT lobbying programs. The female side, made institutionally subordinate, since Vatican II has transcended all that by doing what Jesus told Christians to do. They work amongst the poor and distressed. They make things better. They and the laity are the living church, and everyone can see this, and knows this, but the hierarchy. The Nuns of the Roman Catholic are an example of what beingness can achieve. (See: The Beingness Doctrine http://www.explorejournal.com/article/S1550-8307%2807%2900416-8/fulltext )
