text: I have spoken to men interested in the priesthood who don't feel it is right to seek priestly ordination while we are refusing women who are equally called to the same vocation.  
  
  These men are my heroes.  They see how women are treated alongside them in the Seminary or Catholic colleges and are repelled.  I was called to priesthood and crushed by this rejection of my personhood from birth.  This rejection causes many women to fall into deep depression and self-loathing.   Those who joined Roman Catholic Women priests because they needed to fulfill that hunger  of their calling are excommunicated and can't even be buried alongside other Catholics.
  
  It is up to the laity to demand change in our church.  Female diaconate is a worthless ministry with no authority and should not be re-installed, and the male version should go too because all it has done is support sexism and clericalism.
