The editorial board nailed it in the last paragraph. We know the all-male structure is one of sanctimonious entitlement (by virtue of appointment), opacity and distorted moral and ethical self justification. The Church's real salvation lies in women taking positions of spiritual, liturgical and organizational leadership. When women see themselves reflected in these places is when the Church becomes a true "Catholic" family for the first time. The exercise of power would stand a chance of achieving some balance.  How many can bring themselves to face this reality? While we may be moving forward, this simply reminds us of how far we have to go.
