Butterfly Effects

Women are not a minority, at least in my country. 


:D o yes? In my country we only allow one woman per village...


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.

Occhi

(EDIT:  I  had women and men bass ackwards the first time up there.  Preview is our friend.)

But of course occhi, (my initial reply was to you and also "influenced" by Doc's post.)

I also agree that what somebody did when he wasn't even an adult should not count anymore. ((but you occhi....you sound very left wing here.....why don't you come to Holland...you would feel at home :D )

I pointed at the popes views on women and gays (and probably a handful of other groups (I don't know how to use one word for this).
He has a view which to me is not very nice, so yes we don't even have to consider his past...just look at today.
