Can't imagine how someone that wants women to be seen but not heard (i.e. women not 'allowed' to become a Priest), would be on the fast-track to become a Saint. I find it amazing people would consider it saintly that the pope advocated what is illegal for any corporation to do in this country - disciminating against women from an occupation. What I didn't understand until this Pope's death, it that many of the positions of the Catholic church such as women not being priests is not church law but rather church tradition. In other words, it can be changed without going throught the formality of changing church law. That means the leaders of the church are hanging onto some of these positions not because they might be morally wrong or right but rather because they like it the way it is. And they want their 'flock' to reflect their thinking and not the other way around. And the Church wonders why they are losing people in the more educated nations of the world. ted

Can't imagine how someone that wants women to be seen but not heard I couldn't either but that was never Pope John Paul II's position. I find it amazing people would consider it saintly that the pope advocated what is illegal for any corporation to do in this country 1 - It isn't illegal for a religious organization to have such rules in this country. 2 - What is legal or illegal in this or any other country is entirely irrelevant to the issue of the process for declaring someone to be a saint.
