"The Trouble with Francis:Three Things that Worry Me" by Mary Hunt

"Where are the women theologians called in to consult, the young people invited to discuss their lives and choices? Where are the lay people who might preach at the pope’s daily mass so he would listen instead of speak sometimes? Where are the lesbian and gay seminarians to explain the facts of life to an old Jesuit who entered the Society of Jesus before gay was gay? Where are the survivors of sexual abuse by priests and cover-ups by bishops to whom the institutional church, beginning in Rome, owes reparations? I do not see signs of them anywhere, nor do I expect to any time soon. Opus Dei is not a clothing line, but a deeply ideological Catholic group that stands for very conservative religious values. Rachel Maddow was not tapped for the media job for 
a reason. " Mary Hunt
And where are the women priests to share their stories of call and service of God's people in inclusive Catholic Communities in the U.S. Europe, Canada, and South America? Bridget Mary Meehan, ARCWP, www.arcwp.org
