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.

Youre a Catholic and I agree with you on these facets of the religion , they need to keep on sorting that out, Im a Methodist so we veer off a little on these matters. I am 100% in favour of women , disabled, black, whatever Bishops, priests etc etc etc I also abhor the promotion of unprotected sex, yet another thing Christ did not teach.
