This article is well meant but offering women better voice & vote alone is not enough.  The insult to the humanity of women exists in that we won't ordain them priests & bishops & make them cardinals. This example of sexist hatred alone is enough to prove Catholics believe women are less sacred people than men.  The Gospel teachings & commandments of Christ outright deny & oppose such beliefs but if we the people, of the church, will not demand equal ordination, then injustice & the diminishment of the human dignity of all women in the world & in our church will continue.  Sexism directly causes poverty, violence, terrorism, slavery, child abuse, genital mutilation, & many other horrid results.  It is always a belief based on ignorance & fear which ends in hatred & the stripping away of sacred & vital things from women.  Many clergy try to call sexism something other than hate but to them I say, a tree is known by its fruit & the fruit of sexism is the same as all other forms of hatred
