In the current issue of 'The Irish Catholic' there is an article titled 'Why not women priests?' by Francis X Rocca.
In the article he quotes the Dominican, Fr Wojciech Giertych, the theologian of the papal household.
"Men are more likely to think of God in terms of philosophical definitions and logical syllogisms, a quality fullfilling a priest's duty to transmit Church teaching."
Elsewhere he is quoted as saying that men love the church in a characteristically 'male way' when they show concern "about structures, about the buildings of the church, about the roof of the church which is leaking, about the bishops' conference, about the concordat between the church and the state".
Is it possible the man said this? If he did is it not an insight into a way of thinking that is nothing other than humbug and nonsense.
It would be interesting to know when last Fr Giertych was up on a church roof fixing tiles.
Will anyone in the church challenge this man for saying such nonsense.
