"I only hope that we Catholic women and allies can do the same for future generations of the church. Whether it is midnight or close to dawn on the journey to justice, only heaven knows. What I do know is that we are needed to take our small shift on the long night watch for Catholic women's equality."

If we look at the fight against slavery, women's suffrage, or civil rights, the march towards justice can take a very long time.  Often, movement is so slow it seems nonexistent.  Nonetheless, the fact that reactionary forces within the church spend so much time belittling the campaign for equality for women shows that they know they are losing the argument.
