RE: "The issue was not does the Chuch have relevance to American women"

Obviously for you it isn't.

"Certainly there are problems. Fewer Americans these days send their children to Catholic schools. Mass attendance in the United States fell during John Paul's papacy. The church faces an acute shortage of priests. And the sexual abuse scandal continues to roil dioceses across the country. "

"It needs not to be so sexist and patriarchal. There is a lot of emphasis on the wrong principles."

"At school, they taught us that there are so many people in Africa with AIDS," Adam said, as he took a break from working after school last week at Vaccaro's, a local pastry shop. "But the church won't let them use condoms. I think that's stupid."

Guess where the church is growing the strongest? Africa. How horribly sad and ironic.

Maybe the new Pope will be from Africa and thus see the valid need to "update" the church to the 21st century. It would be immoral not to update the church. As it stands right now, Catholicism is a killer for the world.
