Just trying to be logical here. What do you think the church's priorities should be? Straightening out the legal mess or stifling members of the flock?

Just trying to be logical here.

An admirable goal.

What do you think the church's priorities should be?

Restoring orthodoxy and orthopraxy to the Church.

Straightening out the legal mess or stifling members of the flock?

Anyone who believes that banning altar girls is "stifling" was never a member of the flock to begin with.

Altar girls began as a deliberate act of disobedience.

[ArrogantBustard]

The Church's priority should be what it has always been: preaching the Gospel to the ends of the Earth, and baptising all nations in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Kowtowing to the radical feminazis and flaming queers, as too many bishops have done for the last third to half century, is what stifles the flock.

I'm unaware how anyone is being stifled. I am not and neither are my daughters. And certainly the Vatican, like any corporation or government, can do more than one thing at a time.
