That's great the church has "some" relevance towards "American women." The issue was not does the Chuch have relevance to American women, but do American woman have relevance to the Church. I don't know why you would even consider it doubtful that the church does have relevance to many American woman. Tens of millions of them are Catholic, and at least millions of those are devoted Catholics. Because they don't. The church treats women as if they are second class citizens. And you're making believe you don't know what Amy means is horse manure. ted

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. Regards, Amy J
