And then I read:  "As theologians in recent years explore new perspectives, specifically gender theory, said Beattie, the moral certainties and sexual binaries in traditional theology dissolve and new ways of thinking are ushered in."  And once again it strikes me that the drive for women priests is not led by the type of holy, wise, intelligent women I would gladly recognize as priests (were it not for Rome), but rather, by women and men --- but mostly women --- who regard sexual binarity as having been "dissolved" (as the writer put it) by the "new ways of thinking [that have been] ushered in."  Ushered into a post-modern faux Catholic Church maybe.  As NCR well knows, any Church can call itself Catholic.  (There is --- get this --- a "Reformed Catholic Church.")  But the unmistakable aim of such people is to destroy the one true faith, the Church that Christ Himself gave to Peter.
