Wonderful, stirring lecture by Angela last night at the Larchmont Episcopal Church on Forest Avenue in Larchmont. She pointed out how very few women were prominent at the pope's events and when they were present were either just nuns or in the choir while male clergy dominated the so called "important" people around the Pope.
Angela gave a great synopsis of her book "Good Catholic Girls" and showed how women are really vigorously active in the church in significant ways and how they are pastors and associate pastors in a majority of churches in the US. A wonderful invitation to women to take courage as their sisters are making a difference in the church, despite the deep resistance of the old boys club on the Tiber.
