As noted here, Pope Francis, who once boasted of having been a bouncer,"has called for more women in the International Theological Commission, even after tripling the number of women on the team this past September. 'In the ever more diverse makeup of the Commission,' he said, 'I want to see a higher presence of women.'
The Pope also said recently that it is chiefly women who pass on the faith, and urged men to listen to women more and not be so 'macho.' He said that men often dont allow enough room for women while 'women are capable of seeing things with a different angle from us, with a different eye.'
Got that? You men who are discerning a vocation to the priesthood must come to view masculinity as a sort of disease which leads to men ignoring women and ultimately excluding them. Men must be ashamed of their masculinity and learn to identify more with women. We don't listen enough to women? I think the problem, at least in the West, is that we cater too much to women. One could certainly argue that women in Islamic nations are suppressed and relegated to the status of furniture. But not in the West. Throughout the Church in the United States, women outnumber men in virtually every Church ministry. Everyone knows this. The absence of laymen participating in Church ministries to any appreciable degree is the result of the effeminization of the Church, the Cult of Softness.

he proceeds to tell me how to use the grease to make "white sauce".
I laughed in his yankee face.
