1. Church leadership, particularly in the RCC is so out-of-touch

out-of-touch with the people, who are, (for the most part) moving faster than RCC leadership can keep up.

Being a woman, being gay, lesbian, transgender: certainly not a reason to keep people from reaching and attaining their dreams of careers. Yet so many faiths are patriarchal, and often open to those whose ethnicity is white.

RCC leadership: (and true also for just about every other type of faith leadership, except a very few), having a real problem defending their continuing bigotry and prejudice against other human beings.
