When I realised that Trump was going to win the election my feeling was exactly the same as the day it was announced that Ratzinger was to be Pope. I knew there would be an immediate onslaught against Vatican II council. That's exactly what he did via his hermeneutic of continuity theobabble. However, so out of touch was Ratzinger that we got Francis on the rebound. Mind you, the timing and content of Francis comments on female priests was deplorable, coming as it did just before millions of people went to the polls to decide on a female President. I had also just watched the movie Suffragette about the story of Emily Pankhurst and those courageous women in Britain. To hear the statement from Francis that evening made him look as out of touch as Ratzinger. Women get things done. I hope they rise up now in the US and make their voices heard.
