The "Church" being a self-labeled "hierarchy" cannot but look upon itself from, you guessed it, an hierarchical perspective. Everything and everybody has it/their place. That is the psycho/religious/social/political/sexual/racial myth. To deal with racism is to necessarily employ concepts like: equality of persons - all persons. Nah, that calls into question the contradiction of women's exclusion and diminution, the sterility of its basis and the harm of its tradition. "Community" would have to take precedence, nah, again - except for some radicals whom they ignore or disown.  There's a lot more but just one: hierarchy, itself. The church is not a hierarchy but rather a "teeny" confusing triangle at the top: "the fullness of the priesthood- ontologically other from humans, elite, entirely male, mostly o-l-d. Then a "rhombus" of lesser ontologically other - all male, mostly old . Next "rhombus": us. An unholy mass of unordained religious, me, you, and, of course: women on the bottom.
