Typical VoF Cage-rattling?

Catholic reform group approves resolutions on tougher laws, finances
This reads as you’d expect but includes a pretty telling quote at the end:

Virgine Elking, of Dayton, Ohio, a member of the Sisters of the Precious Blood, presented the resolution on behalf of her working group. She said women have little standing in the church.
“I feel used and non-recognized. Why? Because I am a woman,” Elking said.

Perhaps Sr. Elking would like to be more involved with an institution that supports and upholds the dignity of women, like the institution which published this, or this.
Of course, that’s not what VoF wants. It wants power and the ability to reshape the Church in its own image.

  1. Oh, yeah, it’s all because she’s a woman. Does she think men never feel unappreciated?
    Maybe this Sister-lady should open up with a little more compassion for other people who don’t happen to be women. She doesn’t seem to realize that her attitude is sexist.

  2. But, RC – you could go in to the seminary and become a priest, and then people would appreciate you and recognize you. Isn’t that what you want?

  3. To be properly appreciated and recognized: these are normal goods of human society, and it is normal to want them.
    Well, in most cases: I probably wouldn’t want to be recognized in line at the drive-through window.
