The church that formed my guilt and, among other accomplishments,  conned me into thinking that women were equal but legitimately diminished and excluded is the same church which provided the education, formation and discernment basics which helped me begin my escape journey. Maybe, just maybe, the Bishops should retreat from ideological conclusions and directions and political parading and focus on the promotion of a capacity for and integrity in information, logic, discernment, civility and compassion, and the foundations of ethics. 
The voice of the church "in the public square" should be the conscience formed and informed community of catholics.  At present it is the "fullness of ontological otherness" pretending that they are representing church and "using" us as tools for their purposes.
