Pope Benedict XVI has shown his true colours once again showcasing his ongoing degradation of women

The document laying down the law, the 2001 Motu propio Sacramentorum sanctitatis tutela,  has put into its delicta graviora, its list of most serious crimes, any “attempted ordination of women”. Alongside this ‘most serious crime’ sits the sexual abuse of a minor or mentally disabled adult by a Priest (Bishops are still excluded).

Pope Benedict XVI has now decreed that the aspiration by some women and any attempt by others to support them is on a par with the most horrific paedophilia imaginable.

And remember, this decree comes at the very time that the clerical abuse scandals are evoking horror and utter contempt for the Vatican state.

Why has the PAPA chosen this moment in time to launch such a violent and unprecedented attack on women? Are women getting too big for their boots? Are women now a serious threat to the very fabric of this wealthy-beyond-belief capital hoarder?

Opposition to the ordination of women is linked to celibacy. The Catholic Church originally introduced this to stop its property being dispersed among the off spring of priests.  In this way it cats as just another global corporation protecting its capital accumulated over millennia by enslavement.

Whatever our views on religion, we must expose this attack on women. Do you realise that if you even so much as sign a petition supporting the opening of a public debate on women’s ordination, you are automatically excommunicated! Many of us would care not a jot but really, the attack by such a powerful (alas) institution cannot be allowed.

Pope Benedict is scheduled to visit London, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Birmingham later this year by invitation of the Queen. Pat Browne from the Women’s Ordination group  has stated that “When he comes to Britain, there will be people who are deeply offended. I feel offended by it as a woman”.

Other denominations such as the Anglican Church have taken the highly unusual step of speaking out against this classification of women and their supporters being classed as no better than sexual deviants.

Vatican sex crimes prosecutor, Monsignor Charles Scicluna in a personal capacity states that it is correct to equate these crimes. So Mr Charles Scicluna – do you display your contempt for the sexually abused throughout the world and across the millennia or do you display your contempt for women. Which is it?
