A couple of Sundays ago, I was talking to three people outside the Oakland Cathedral when a passerby approached. She pointed at the sign that I was holding which read, "ORDAIN WOMEN" and asked me: "Do you want to ordain women into an institution in which priests rape little girls?" She went on to tell us that when her mother was a little girl, she was raped by the priest at her parish. Later in life, her mother committed suicide.
