When the Women’s Equality Act went down in flames on June 21, it was “quite literally, the answer to prayer,” crowed the New York state Catholic bishops, which sets one to wondering, “What kind of God are these guys praying to anyway?” Oh yes, it’s the one who, given the choice, would let a woman die rather than have an abortion. It’s the one who says taking birth control pills is a sin that could land a woman in hell. It’s the one who says that a woman can never, ever be promoted to priest, because that’s a man’s job.

Given all that, is it any wonder why women are fleeing the Roman Catholic Church in droves?
