Today's Vatican Culture is Still Stuck in the Past

Across the broad biological spectrum, females form friendships and bond with one another. These female bonds and friendships strengthen a female way of being that is different from how men interact and how they are formed by the cultures in their clubs and associations.

.

Strong sister bonds and friendships create strengths that males and their groups cannot match.

.

There is a lesson here that seems to be missed in the Catholic Churchs male culture and by the bishops formed in it. Some of the least insightful bishops reprimanded Sister Carol Keehan for standing with and protecting pregnant women whose lives were threatened by a developing fetus.

.

These bishops were theologically unsophisticated, but even worse was their naivete in thinking that they could push around Catholic sisters and child-bearing women with their reprimands and threats to withdraw Catholic status from hospitals if abortion is permitted when a fetus puts the mothers life in danger.

.

The level of naivete demonstrated by those bishops could come only from celibate men who have had no close experience with women.

.

Catholic laypersons who thought that such foolishness would not be repeated were quickly disappointed. Some even more naive bishops are now trying to bully the entire community of American sisters (Leadership Conference of Women Religious).

.

Their crackdown on American nuns is to make them withdraw from the social-justice work that they do for poor people.

.

Instead, the bishops insist that they redirect their efforts and focus on opposing gay marriage, contraception and abortion. The concerns mentioned by the bishops were with radical feminist themes at their conferences and widespread dissent from the churchs sexual teachings within religious congregations.

.

The bishops in charge of this latest display of Vatican authority are high-ranking, ultraconservative members of the hierarchy. Under the leadership of one of these bishops, a priest pedophile was left in charge of a large diocesan program for homeless boys.

.

This priest, Paul Shanley, was eventually convicted of abusing a boy. Shanley and other priests not only were not reported to civil authorities by their bishops, but were moved around from parish to parish. Instead of being removed from society, they were sent to retreats.

.

Things were so bad in the Boston diocese, where Father Shanley practiced, that his presiding bishop was forced to resign in 2002. Believe it or not, that bishop was given a new position in Rome. That bishop was the Cardinal Archbishop of Boston, Bernard Law.
