I believe this hits on subjects that are sometimes about race & other times are really only about anyone trying to make changes in their parish, esp. when it comes to changes in parish ideas of how to share liturgy & what the people want verses the diocese or individual priests for worship style.  

Also, many of these women, and I see most of the complaints are coming from women, are actually being probably pushed away more because they are women than due to their race.  

"The rejection is like "asking for a hug and someone is crossing their arms," she said, recounting how she & a young Asian woman were "shut down" in a parish in San Francisco when trying to introduce new programs. "That's why people leave, because they don't feel wanted. And if you don't feel wanted, you leave."

This is exactly the deep pain that women experience when they express they are called by God to priesthood & are snubbed & ignored.

Our new pastor let me know its my way or the highway! We are looking.
