text: The educated, loving, clear-headed, usually calm faithful progressive Catholic women and men I know accept  the Church's teachings--far more than Trads give them credit for. 
  
  But the two things almost ALL in anger  rise up against are a) how women control their fertility and intimacy is to be solely determined by celibate men--or any men; and b) the patronizing "women can do so many other things beside being ordained." 
  
  Talk to Catholic men and women and the above conclusions by the Church are the two that they, in good conscience and through experience, prayer, and expertise, discern as unacceptable and worthy of dissent.  Yes, so sadly, yet so understandably, too many women and men see those directives as worthy of accepting Archbishop Chaput's invitation to make us a smaller, purer Church. And, with tears, they look in the rear view mirror to make Chaput's dream so.
