Well, yes, it is indeed regrettable that the "old boys" don't get it. On the other hand, it is heartening that large numbers of nuns have chosen to stand up to the old boys. Every organization has a political process, and every organization has extremists on one side or another who don't serve the common good.

Richard may see this all as regrettable - and I think he implies that it is inevitable. I see it as a situation that demands change. I'm rooting for the nuns. Maybe, at long last, they'll win.
