The opposition to this comes from an extremely powerful right wing group of churches. The diocese
of the Catholic Church was so right wing when we were there they wouldn't even allow altar girls.
Of course, maybe that would have cut down on the population of little boys for the priests to molest.


They excommunicated numerous people who belonged to groups that didn't toe the catechism line
according to their bishop who was a nasty, authoritarian, misogynistic creep.
