This morning, I was delighted to see the editorial on the Vatican's treatment of women who seek ordination in the Roman Catholic Church. I am amazed that American Catholic women are so tolerant of the Vatican's mistreatment of women. Catholic sisters raised generations of immigrants out of poverty by running schools, hospitals, universities - and their self-sacrifices were only matched by the sacrifices of military personnel.
One of my priest friends has often noted that the Vatican would only change its ways if Americans voted their conscience by withholding their dollars. Maybe now is the time to consider that strategy. Here's the article that made me proud to write for the Delaware County Daily Times:
