Nice to See You Leaving, Aloysius

Aloysius Cardinal Ambrozic is stepping down after 16 years on the job as archbishop of Toronto. One of his parishioners at St Mike's cathedral told a Toronto Sun reporter that she regarded Ambrozic as a "wise elder". I say either she has incredibly low standards or she's just plain stupid. The man is a moron.
He became a bishop in 1976 and I first learned of his existence shortly after when I was present with hundreds of other teachers to hear him address a gathering of Catholic primary grade teachers. The majority of people in that room were female and he began immediately to berate those of us who were married for being at work. He felt we should be at home playing mommy. I'm sure the catch-phrase "barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen" brings special joy to that old idiot's heart. He came out that day with an announcement that I remember verbatim because I was flabbergasted to hear him give vent to such open misogyny. He raised his voice to better drive home his point and told us, "Menstruation is the weeping of an unfulfilled womb."
Stupid old man. Decades ago I would have said I hope for better from your successor Edmonton Archbishop Thomas Collins. Now, I hold no particular hope at all for any intelligence from him. You Aloysius; John Paul II; Benedict, and all your brothers in clerical idiocy have taught me better.
