These people must think that people like Blessed Teresa of Calcutta and Saint Clare of Assisi did absolutely nothing to make a difference, just because they weren't bishops or didn't say mass.

For these people who demand to be made priests or bishops, it is not about helping people or being a role model or a person in a leadership role. Its about having power over others. And that is a very bad reason to make someone a priest or bishop.

OUTSTANDING point - and it puts all those in the church heirarchy who have been framing the debate over her elevation to Bishop on exactly those terms (i.e.: "empowering" women) to shame.Or at least it might if they were actually a real religion still and not the "Official Confederacy of Bureaucrats Spouting Greeting Card Platitudes" that the Epicopalian Church of America is today.
