    One thing is certain, it’s going to be a different Church than the one I grew up in!

    I don’t believe the purpose of the rosary prayer has changed, Mary’s status remains as powerful intercessor.

    We are all called to be servants to all around us. To serve is to lead in Christ’s example.

    What would bishops know about families, beyond centuries of canned answers that have dubious motives?

    I am not married not because I am against families, but because I have too much respect to try to do a half-assed job of it.

    There are many married Catholic priests, including some priests in the Latin Rite, so your complaint is not valid>

    The leadership among Christians is to be servant, so (in theory), priests and bishops are subservient to women.

    Also, what of women religious chosen as leaders of their communities? Are they held down?

    We Catholics continue to support families, by persisting in supporting the right of children to be with their biological fathers and mothers, ideally in a healthy married relationship, and resisting the many blocks that society has devised against this: liberal divorce, birth control, abortion, pornography, pre-marital sex and living together, to name a few.
