The future of the Catholic Church – Archbishop Dermot Farrell, Dublin speaking on RTÉ Radio

The stonewalling of the hierarchy is becoming a joke. Seeing women priests in action (and seeing same-sex couples thrive) one is convinced beyond argument that the church attitude to women (as to LGBT folk) is baseless.

Thanks, Sean for your excellent analysis @4. I wonder have you read The Last Week by Marcus Borg and, the Nenagh man, John Dominic Crossan. It is a excellent book and helped me in my understanding of why Jesus had to die. @5, “Lying to survivors, manipulating them and sacrificing them to the greater good of the Church must cease. In its place must come humility and recognition of survivors as people who are precious in the eyes of God.“ Surely that has now ceased. It was so outrageous, shocking, in fact, that at the Redress Board hearings the religious orders, having already inflicted such unspeakable cruelty and pain on some of the country's poorest and most vulnerable children, then hired the most expensive legal firm in the country to undermine and attempt to humiliate further those very survivors whom they had so abused as children. Michael O'Brien summed it up with his cri de coeur on Questions and Answers "five highly paid lawyers trying to make a liar of me...." Yet there were attempts on this very site to discredit Michael. Shameful!!

Roy, I am at the moment reading "Women Remembered. Jesus' Female Disciples" by Helen Bond and Joan Taylor, both Professors of Christian Origins. Helen lectures at New College here at Edinburgh University and she has previously spoken on this subject at our Edinburgh Newman Association. This book confirms absolutely that, as you say: "He shows a lack of understanding of the movement in the early church that shut out the role of women that Jesus had opened up in his ministry." The section on Mary may prove difficult for some of our flock as the presence of her other children is taken for granted ---indeed for all of us who pray our belief in the "ever-virgin" every time we attend Mass. We have discussed this in the past on this site to no great conclusion.

Disappointing that Dermot Farrell still has such a fixed patriarchal view of women in regard to priesthood and that 'certain pillars' can't be changed. He shows a lack of understanding of the movement in the early church that shut out the role of women that Jesus had opened up in his ministry. We need the 'Syrophoenician woman' who changed the mindset/ worldview of Jesus to work on Dermot and so many others who have such 'fixed/ unchangeable' perspectives.
