The latest dose of inanity has been released by the Vatican. Their 37 page document "On the Collaboration of Men and Women in the Church and in the World" prompted Frances Kissling, president of the U.S.-based Catholics for a Free Choice to say "I thought for sure I was in the 1960's and Archie Bunker had been appointed theologian to the Pope". We could only wish, Ms. Kissling. Dear old Archie would be an incredible step forward for that bastion of misogyny-disguised-as-religion that is the Vatican. In their document they hammer home, again, their Dark Ages view that woman must be mother, or she must be virgin. They see nothing else for her. They offer nothing else. They are sadly outdated chauvinists. Sadly, they influence far too many of the world's population.

The document can be found on the Vatican website. It's quite the read -- you've got to give them credit for imagination -- I think they've done a wonderful job pretending they're still in the dark ages.
