Reclaiming Vatican II

Here.

Not least in view of today's jaw-dropping Observer editorial, which presupposes the truth of the totally false allegation against the present Pope in relation to a pederast in his former diocese, which conflates the purely disciplinary matter of priestly celibacy with the fundamental doctrine of the essential maleness of Holy Orders, which holds up the Anglican experience of the ordination of women as exemplary (in reality, our own feminist lobby, such as it still is these days, has been citing it as exemplary of what does not work since before it had even happened in this country), which ignores both the seventy-two per cent increase in Catholic ordinations worldwide under John Paul II and the fact that fully one quarter of the Church of England's female clergy are known to be agnostics or atheists, which assumes that female sexual abuse of teenage boys does not happen, which asserts that men inclined to such abuse would be all right if only they could marry women, and which declines to mention the fact that sex between men and boys is only treated as unacceptable by the metropolitan media when the men in question happen to be Catholic priests.

Among other things.
