No, I'm not a member of the hierarchy. What I intended was to illustrate that as I agreed with the hierarchy your harsh words for them could apply to me also.
Bishops and priests are just like everyone else we come across, we either like them or we don't because of some fault we perceive in their character or demeanour. I have not met any Catholic bishops as intimately as you seem to have to pass judgement upon them but I have known a lot of priests, some I took to some I did not. Intending to be a cleric myself I can't say how I would have turned out had I succeeded. I knew a fair number of nuns when I was a child and I can't say I disliked any of them.
I accept what you say about envy not being the reason for your feminism. Where we differ is over your belief that women in Europe and the USA are oppressed, I can't see how. You are a lawyer, right? Your status and remuneration must be well above the average woman's whilst there are many, many men on or below the breadline.
