Latest Dowd: "Worlds without Women"=Pope's emotional schism [View All]

[Lena inRI]

Say and think what you will about Maureen Dowd, she perceptively nails the historical and current crime of the Pope ergo catholicism:

Above all else, he perpetuates ad infinitum the Catholic Church's power using celibacy, infallibility doctrine of the Pope, and the 1929 Lateran Treaty on statehood of the Vatican.

Any church law anywhere acknowledging women's EQUALITY to men is nixed. Why else was celibacy so mandatory in church dogma since C.E. 1022 by another Pope Benedict VIII ? Celibacy has NOTHING to do with sexual mores or sacrifices. It has all to do with keeping Catholic male clerics' consolidated power away from women.

Meanwhile, never really expecting celibacy to ever work for most clerics, male or female, the Pope has to shunt aside any criminal sexual abuse of children in order to uphold the power/wealth of the Catholic city-state.

Celibacy is the crucial keystone holding up this fake religious arch. It's truly a medieval fiefdom circa 2010. Incredibly true!

I saw how the Pope's Vatican press response has been to charge the NYT with unfair attacks . . .next they'll start using the perennial threat of excommunication or divine retribution (the BIG CURSE) for all NYT Catholic employees who attack the infallible "Holy Papa."

Keep on pressing, Maureen. What your modern, technological, righteous free speech can't end, the on-going severe drop in the number of catholic clerics will. . .hopefully in my lifetime.
