Unfortunately, as a cradle Catholic and as a woman physician, I believe that the male leaders in the Church in 2016 do not want to accept the reality stated at the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s, that WE ALL ARE THE CHURCH - LAY PEOPLE & ORDAINED, WOMEN & MEN & CHILDREN. 

In 2016, the Church is still crippled by a male only point of view, which continues to frustrate the original plan of God, who created women and men at the same time and as equals in God's image (Genesis 1:26,27). It is time the churchmen stop pushing the male fantasy myth of woman coming from the rib of a man. There would be no man or woman on earth unless that person came from the body of a woman. A reality check is very much needed in the Christian churches, in my view.
