Coming from a Catholic upbringing I don't agree one bit. Women are still discriminated against at all levels of the clergy, and don't even get me started on how they treat LGBT people (granted Pope Francis made some positive remarks, but it wasn't exactly a firm step forward either). Not to mention the fact that the very same organisation until three years ago,
still promoted unprotected sex despite AIDS being a huge issue for a plethora of countries.
So in my opinion, the Church may have come a substantial way, but it hasn't come far enough. There's a hell of a lot more it could stand to do to improve itself.
