“Some are born with knowledge, some derive it from study, and some acquire it only after a painful realization of their ignorance.But the knowledge being possessed, it comes to the same thing.Some study with a natural ease, some from a desire for advantages, and some by strenuous effort.But the achievement being made, it comes to the same thing.”

“If you cannot see that divinity includes male and female characteristics and at the same time transcends them, you have bad consequences. Rome and Cardinal O'Connor base the exclusion of women priests on the idea that God is the Father and Jesus is His Son, there were only male disciples, etc. They are defending a patriarchal Church with a patriarchal God. We must fight the patriarchal misunderstanding of God.”

“Everyone agrees the celibacy rule is just a Church law dating from the 11th century, not a divine command.”

“The Pope would have an easier job than the President of the United States in adopting a change of course. He has no Congress alongside him as a legislative body nor a Supreme Court as a judiciary. He is absolute head of government, legislator and supreme judge in the church. If he wanted to, he could authorize contraception over night, permit the marriage of priests, make possible the ordination of women and allow eucharistic fellowship with this Protestant churches. What would a Pope do who acted in the spirit of Obama?”
