When it comes to sexuality--the beauties and the perversions--the sin of willful ignorance has permeated the hierarchy. Doctrine, rather than new data; hubris rather than humility; clericalism rather than lay expertise; celibacy rather than experience; biases rather than research ruled. With an iron hand. 

"We didn't listen to the prophets" as Pope Francis tells us on this very day. It was a  conscious choice not to. It was "policy" not to. It was tragic not to. 

Few things have changed. 

The role of the prophets is subservient to the rule of the rigid.

The prophetic people's voice still is shouted down by the CDF's.  

And guess who gets to call the other "sinners." Maybe, just maybe, the Church needs a "sexual revolution" that asks the right questions about the right topics from the right people--a revolution where "I don't know" and "You were right after all" are heard from those who need to say it.  

What more do we need?

"Learning is what happens after you know it all."
