Francis has made it clear that he sees childbearing and child rearing as crucial womanly roles.

Umm... any thinking person understands that childbearing is a UNIQUELY female role.

In a July statement that many took as a positive sign, he said that women are "more important than bishops and priests." But it is unclear just how progressive we should understand that statement to be. Repeatedly, Francis has come back to extolling the role of women specifically as mothers, noting that "the presence of women in a domestic setting" is crucial to "the very transmission of the faith."

Show me where this is flawed, or not true. And if the author purports to be Catholic, how is this a bad thing? Show me, outside of the "traditional" church, where Catholic and other Christian women who DO value their traditional roles find support for them?!?

It’s like she saying “Oh yeah, the transmission of life.... yawn.... so trivial...”
