It doesnt' "bother" me, it fascinates me. It's fascninating to contemplate the logic of an organization utterly dependent for its survivial on women (and on non-European peoples) go out of its way to offend those very people. These are the very people who will make the decision whether to bring the next generation up Catholic.

...go out of its way to offend those very people.

The faithful are not offended. Apparently you are.

It's not a popularity contest. Its faith, the next generation just as the generations before will be strong.

Dear Lorianne,

I just asked my wife, who is a Catholic, a woman, and a mother.

She's not offended.

The next generation here will continue to be reared Catholic.

As a Catholic women and mother, I would be more offended and less likely to continue to raise my children in a Catholic tradition if they bent to the whims of every group of the to the dillution of doctrine.

an organization utterly dependent for its survivial on women

The Catholic Church does not depend on women for its "survival." It depends on Jesus Christ who founded it and said that the gates of hell would not prevail against it. It has existed for almost 2,000 years. If you're waiting for it to disappear, I wouldn't hold my breath.
