I mean its a great thing what shes doing but why continue to be a catholic? She has to know this is going to mean excommunication.
I don't know why she is still a Catholic. Perhaps she thinks she would have a better chance at changing the RCC if she fought as a Catholic. Honestly I think there's some strategic reason for her doing this. If you notice on the video her words are chosen carefully and it appears as if she's had some coaching. What comes through this coaching though is when her voice cracks when she talks about human suffering. I think her desire to help women, the children who can be orphaned by their mothers dying in childbirth, and the children who could go hungry, uneducated, and unhealthy because limited resources are spread to thin, is genuine.
If the RCC stands up and challenges her it will be interesting to see who has more power.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
