Women's Liberation
Women's Liberation by MSW. MGB: If the Church ordained women as priests and bishops, it would make their argument on life issues much stronger. If it were more informed on the medical benefits of contraception, the misogynistic origins of its teachings on sexuality within marriage and the fact that contraception is not a life issue, the policy would change - though the Church is not open to that. Resisting the need for contraception (including Natural Family Planning) on the grounds of freedom from Eugenics and economic liberty and empowerment would be a much better place to come from than sexuality. Until the Church faces some its own demons on sex and power, the world can be excused for not thinking it is simply trying to hold women in their place when standing for the unborn, even if this is not their intent. The answer is to ordain women, pay families well and get over itself on sex. And take a biology class.
