text: IMO, the misogyny that is (almost) foundational to the institution is one of the Church's biggest problems.  Solve that and welcome women into real leadership roles and perhaps many of the other problems will begin to be resolved.  Excluding half of the human race from responding to a call from God and serving in ministry is not the action or philosophy of a church that calls itself the "People of God."  
  
  "But I also felt rage at the fact that, 40 years after my own studies, these women are still plagued by the same issues that I confronted." That rage is not limited to women seeking ordination.  It can be found in many, many women who have been assigned to second place at the table.  These are, BTW, women who are expected to rear their children in the Catholic faith, follow faithfully the no-ABC mandates, serve cheerfully in parishes where they have no deciding voice, and provide male priests for future generations.  As EB said above, either ordain women or stop baptizing them.
