Thread Name: Women and church crime
Subject: RE: Women and church crime
Slag,
Your final sentence is pretty heavy stuff. I submit that healthy discourse, regardless of ones religeous affiliation, has a useful place here and elsewhere in society...even within the RC church.

Taking your statement farther, it would follow that only those within a country (or those in power positions) have a right to discuss anything that goes on within that country. Luckily, people do care and many, including RC members and officials, take issue countries with poor records on basic human rights.

Islamic countries are criticised for excluding women from roles in society.   Luckily, the global community has moved beyond the approach you seem to put forward, and frequently promote equality of opportunity regardless of sex.

And quite often, change does occur...sometimes from the power of opinion.
