“Apparently Mary’s obedience to God doesn’t really resonate with them. How utterly sad.”
Indeed! Mary’s example was one of complete surrender to God’s will. It was an example of SERVICE.
The example of these radical feminists is one of lust for POWER. Period.
Pray for them.

In our parish, and in every one I have ever been a member of, the priest is the lowliest servant of all. His time is never his own. Our priests are always serving their flocks, to the point of exhaustion. These wonem seem to be too self-centered to be good servants, as a priest should be.
I am a lifelong Catholic, a lay Carmenlite, and I came of age during the height of the Women’s Liberation mavement. However, this kind of thing really frosts my cookies.
As a female, my Church wants me to be a SAINT. Surely that is a goal that is eternal, reaching far past this short life and the perceived “opression” to which I have been blissfully unaware in my 50-plus years as a Catholic woman.
I’ve talked to many women who bemoan the fact that they can have no “power” in the Church. That is the word that is constantly invoked. They have no wish to SERVE. To a woman, they only want to be ordained because someone told them they couldn’t. I have never spoken to one who said they had a longing to consecrate the host or help penitents...only that they wanted to challenge the power structure.
WHy not concentrate on becoming a saint? There are female Doctors of the Church; if your talents are so impressive, why not be content to work towards an ETERNAL reward? The Church has always honored women, as equal members in the community of saints.
Life is short! Why pick at something that is so transitory?
Sorry for the rant. I just question how much these women know about their faith if they believe they are second place in the Church.
Not only that, it is an example of Marxist philosophy that has been taught in the US. This cultural Marxism says there is no difference between a man and a woman, which is like saying there is no difference between a rooster and hen. They ignore Natural Law Theory which is founded in logic and reason and science.
They have to be called for the Marxists that they are. They are trying to destroy the natural family and push "homosexuality" as normal and equal....all to promote this absurd "utopia" since they are really godless and do not believe in heaven. They understand, for Marxist ideology to prevail, they have to destroy Christianity in its orthodox form and they are trying to destroy the Catholic Church. These are very ugly, selfish women, who really have no souls and no belief in God at all.
