Hi, Mary - I had to re-read your comment to understand where you were coming from. If I understand you correctly, you're pointing out that the document to which Michael refers (Gaudium et Spes) suffers from the sexism of its time, and therefore requires correction if the Church is going to credibly proclaim the Gospel to the people of our day, and especially if the Church is going to mount real resistance to the Trump worldview.
I agree, of course, although I don't think Michael was defending the patriarchal worldview of GS and may have actually been assuming that its contents would now be understood in non-patriarchal terms. I don't think that assumption is correct, based on our experience of the last few decades, but to be fair, that wasn't the substance of his essay, either. 
At the same time, I agree that the Church is even more responsible for sexism than Mr. Trump's inane comments are, and that we can't assume we have what it takes to correct others until we correct ourselves. -M
