The pope has forever ruled out the option of ordaining women. But, it is not surprising that the 'married priesthood' is driven by the feminist movement. Many of the 'liberal' bishops in this country, were put in place by Archbishop Jean Jadot. He intentionally chose 'young' priests with liberal agendas to match his, anticipating that they would outlive the Holy Father, be appointed as Cardinals and elevate one of their own as next pope, thus "modernizing" the Catholic Church. I do believe that God will have the last laugh!
"Archbishop Jean Jadot, Pope Paul VI's apostolic delegate to the United States from 1973-1980, has no regrets about the spate of bad bishops he inflicted on the Catholics of this country such as Bishop Walter Sullivan of Richmond, Va., Archbishop Rembert Weakiand of Milwaukee, and Roger Cardinal Mahony of Los Angeles.
Other men who became bishops during Jadot's tenure in the United States include Rochester Bishop Matthew Clark; Albany's Howard Hubbard; former Santa Fe Archbishop Roberto Sanchez, who resigned in a sex scandal; former San Jose Bishop Pierre DuMaine; former Honolulu Bishop Joseph Ferrario; San Antonio Archbishop Patrick Flores; former Newark Archbishop Peter Gerety; Joliet, Ill., Bishop Joseph Imesch; Louisille Archbishop Thomas C. Kelly, O.P., a former staffer at the apostolic nuncio under Jadot; Bernard Cardinal Law of Boston (whom Jadot selected as bishop for Springfield-Cape Girardeau, Mo.), Cincinnati Archbishop Daniel Pilarczyk; Saginaw, Mich., Bishop Kenneth Untener - to name a few more - all of whom, supposedly, mirrored his own progressive image as a "man of the people."
Uuuuhhhhnnnhhh...we used to call them "fems"---at our all-male Jebbie high school.
A fem is a fem is a fem, regardless of the tools God gave them, so to speak.
