Thanks for commenting. Sometimes my off the seat writing needs rewriting, rereading, and re-editing! As a LD person typing and putting thoughts out on  some issues- despite my best efforts fails- to what I would like to have as best practice. And I know where you are coming from about Michael. However he did miss the sexism and it took me years.Just be more aware.
I was there in the discussion about the formation on the pastoral letter on women. I grew up on the social encyclicals  with my mother - but her teachings were only half listened to at best,- I didn't take notes. She had her graduate degree from a Jebbie Social Work program and it was part of her course of studies as was Social Welfare - public parks -  they studied the Cleveland MetroParks early 1900's public park system creation.
I am  the mother of five with several with various kinds of special needs. Hard times. I  am in empty nest recovery.  I stand by my premise and thoughts - no one is perfect.
