Butterfly Effects

Well if I may be a bit bold. He kept his strong opinions against certain minorities. Like gays, women etc. It is clear that for this guy not all persons are the same, or should have the same rights......might this be some left-over from his WWII time??

Women are not a minority, at least in my country. There are more women than men in America, and more women than men in American universities. I hear China and India have issues there, but cannot confirm it.

As to "might this be some left over from WW-II time?" No, I think not, and I find it absurd that anyone with a brain would consider that his teenage attitudes have been left uninfluenced by a lifetime of study, exposure to, and indepth exploration of Christian doctrine.

How about we all try to avoid pigeonholing a thinking human being. We can all fall into that trap. All of us. The man is an adult, and has had his whole life to learn. He is also a person who has embraced a well codified (if imperfect) doctrine as a matter of professional principle.

I will suggest that any antipathy toward the status of women, or homosexuals, would be his buy-in to the doctrine of the Catholic Church, not "WW II" time.
