The Passion of the Pope
Pope whatsisname, the guy who’s in now, Papa Razzi (was he a Nazi?) said recently that allowing women to become priests would be a “grave crime.” Not “a serious mistake.” Not “a disturbing break with tradition.” A grave crime. This is coming from the head of an organization that doesn’t think it should have to report child abuse to the secular authorities.
But, leaving that aside, where is the grave crime? Is anybody likely to die if women become priests? Is anybody going to lose their life savings or have their privacy invaded? Are automobile thefts going to take off? Will rioting run rampant? No. So, it’s not a crime. The pope should just shut up, retire and forget about it.
I really shouldn’t even be concerned with this. I’m not Catholic and, for the most part, I think organizations ought to be free to make their own rules. If they want to be a “we hate girls club” well, then, that’s their choice.
However, the pope is the spiritual leader of hundreds of millions of people (approximately 50% of whom are female) and so, his comments have a lot of political weight. The “grave crime” line was over the top. The so-called infallible representative of God on Earth, the successor to St. Peter, should apologize just like any other scumbag politician.

Exactly !! The 50 percent of his followers who are women should leave the church. The Episcopal church, Chruch of Christ, etc. are more accepting of women in positions of leadership, and women’s rights. Actually, women who need a religion should start their own rather than obeying and following the rules written by delusional, bored, old men centuries ago.
