Hi Alexandra,

I am aware that you are Catholic but not Roman Catholic and I did not believe Jim meant any harm to the Ukrainian Church but he did mean harm to the women he did not bother to mention have been discriminated against for no just reason.  Many of these groups push married men for priesthood but should first push for the human justice issue to be resolved regarding our abuse of women.   

Canon Law that breaks the Great Commandment to treat all the same and with love must be done away with and it is the laity's job to demand we support justice for all of our members, in any church.  We must do more than shake our heads, as sexism in religion has been proven to directly cause violence, rape, terrorism, poverty, child abuse, slavery, genital mutilation of women and many other horrid results globally.  This can no longer be treated like a joke or not a real problem.  We are culpable to God for the abuses to human dignity that we allow with our obedient silence to such laws.
