No really... not an oxymoron Feminism, Socialism, Christianity, Autism, and Mommy-blogging. You'd think I'd need more blogs. But no.
The Vatican definitely recognizes there is a major difference between ordination of women and sex abuse by priests (as well as nuns approving termination of life-threatening pregnancy). This is evident in their actions towards these particular sinners.
Ordinate [sic] a woman as a priest: excommunication from the church
Nun orders termination of life-threatening pregnancy*: excommunication from the church
Rape children as a priest: get reassigned or at worst ’suspended’ from your priestly duties, church attempts cover-up to protect you from criminal investigation
Yup. Bingo. I've been saying this for YEARS.
* The nun didn't order it. She was on the committee that approved it.
