GUEST,Joe Offer, at the (Catholic) Women's Center	BS: Pope on pedophile priests (239* d)	RE: BS: Pope on pedophile priests	28 Apr 08
The idea of reponsibility on the local level looks wrong to you, Mike? Maybe I misunderstand you, but I have to say I'm very glad that Catholic parishes are as autonomous as they are. I'm a voluntary member of the church, and I can't see myself being dictated to by Rome. I do appreciate the worldwide union the Catholic Church provides, especially the feeling of solidarity with third world countries - but I also treasure my autonomy. In a semi-autonomous parish, I can make a big difference - and I do. In a worldwide monolith, I'd be just another spoke in the wheel. No, thanks. That's not what I signed on for. -Joe-
