“Pope Francis is fighting against ideology.”  What about patriarchal ideology?  As long as the Church remains a patriarchy based on patriarchal gender ideology, it is hard to imagine that the Church can be prophetic in dealing with a man who is the personification of patriarchy.  That we have elected this repulsive demagogue as president is bad enough, but even worse is the fact that most Catholics continue to acquiesce with the male-only priesthood, the most divisive religious institution in the world: 50% of baptized humans are fit to image Christ, 50% are unfit.
