More like they don't want to...

cause it's a nasty, nasty book that's impossible to reconcile with progressive viewpoints without a whole lot of cognitive dissonance.

The answer for most is to just not think about it.

Actually, it's great to be naysaing

homophobic, misogynist bigots of all sorts. It happens all the time on DU. But for some reason it "sucks" when it involves religion according to some?

Then they should join the multitude of Christian churches...

that allow women priests. Well, many have, and good for them, they're being consistent and intellectually honest with themselves.

Tea Party conservatives are more progressive than the Pope...

when it comes to leadership roles of women. They were more than willing to vote Palin in as President. Meanwhile, the Pope won't allow women any positions of leadership in the church.

The Pope is a homophobe and a misogynist, and this is condescending tripe. Women have a "special role" in the church alright. It's called second class status. Are women supposed to lap up this crap as some sort of substitute?

And yet quite a few recs from DU? Sad.
