Vatican gets it wrong again

As a former Catholic no doubt I am harder than most on the church I once worshipped in, but really, even the most ardent supporter of the Pope has to question the Vatican's sanity when they encourage headlines such as these.

Suggesting in a revised decree that the "attempted ordination" of women is one of the gravest crimes in ecclesiastical law and is on a par with the sex abuse of minors is not only disproportionately insulting and insensitive but also a major gaffe.

It explains why there was so little action taken for so long against child abusers within the church. They simply did not understand the gravity of the offence. Can these people really be let loose in the real world?
Comments:
no they cant be let loose, they are an anachronism, all you need peter is the book and a silent spot for contemplation,

smells, bells, priests, stupidity, hierarchies we can do without, you may regain your faith
