Still Saying "No Women Priests"

I love the comment by one reader of "Mahony defends his actions" at 8:30 this morning on the LA Times website.

She writes:

"So let me get this straight.

In this church:

You are allowed to remain an archbishop, vote on the pope, and administer the sacraments even if you have demonstrably shielded child molesters.

However, you cannot become a priest if you are a woman.

Wow. Just wow."

What more can I say? The illogic and hypocrisy of these men is out there for all to see.

Thank you to "youareuniquelikeeveryoneelse" (her posting name on the LA Times).

In memory of Martha Puebla & In honor of Maria Riveros

On a spring night in 2003, Martha Puebla, age 16, was shot in the face while sitting outside her home in Sun Valley, California, near Los Angeles. Her death was ordered by a gang member on trial for a murder she had witnessed.

On July 13, 2008, in San Ignacio, Paraguay, Maria Riveros took her pregnant 16-year-old daughter to the home of an obstetrician and asked her to perform an abortion. The fetus of about 4 mo. was buried outside the home, but there were complications and the next day Maria had to rush her daughter to a hospital, where a hysterectomy was performed. The obstetrician and her daughter, a nurse, were arrested and charged with performing an abortion.

This blog is dedicated to Martha, Maria and all women who courageously negotiate their lives in this world filled with gang warfare and international warfare, poverty and wealth, drug trafficking and addiction, and lack of access to birth control, legal abortion, and other health care.
