FROM THE MAILBOX
A reader sent this article from USNewswire about the ladies who want to be heard in conclave:
The female perspective on the legacy of Pope John Paul II and the future needs of the Catholic Church is critical, for women have significant presence within the Church. Women comprise an estimated 82 percent of employed chaplains and parish ministers in the U.S., and they volunteer in droves within their parish communities. Worldwide, there are 783,000 women religious serving the church's 1.07 billion Catholics compared to 405,000 priests.
That's nearly two for one! Guys, you are underrepresented. Are you gonna let that happen? The Church needs at a minimum 378,000 more of you just to even the score! Come on and listen up...I know the Lord will be calling now that at least some of the seminaries have been cleaned up. The women have mixed theology up more than enough. We are in need of male leadership!
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!
