"Awful".   An interesting concept of what is "awful" in the RCC.  This is what is truly "awful" - a church that has as official teaching the notion that the celibate males in the church have the right to limit women to roles that serve their needs. Teachings that define women effectively as second-class members of the church by denying access to a sacrament due to DNA alone; teachings that define women's roles to be acceptable only in deferential support to males in the church,  that define women in their marriages as second-class only, passive instead of active (see some of JPII's writings), etc.  The success with some women of the indoctrination of these sinful teachings is the biggest sin of all. Jesus weeps.
