Are you saying that you have not found the answers you seek on this forum?Go to any non-religious website frequented by women (ie, fitness, health) and go to open chatter or water cooler or whatever the general discussion area is called, and start a topic related to the Catholic church. You will be bombarded with former and marginal or progressive Catholics who will share their opinions openly. One of my fitness forums was so virulent after the election of Pope Benedict that I quit visiting for a while.
Many of the posters didn’t understand the church’s teachings and their origins and so assumed they were based on misogyny and the founding church fathers’ desire to keep women from having any authority in the church. Many of the posters wrote they left the church because of its position regarding women. Believe me, these people are out there, they’re angry and they truly hate the RCC.
It was quite eye opening for me. It’s why I joined this forum, hoping to learn the way to defend the church to these women and to reach them and encourage them to really learn what the church teaches as opposed to what the church’s opponents say the church teaches. Unfortunately, this has not gone so well.
A total abomination is a site called www.catholicsforchoice.comI’d like to hear from them too. I’m up for a good discussion. They are most likely lurking about and reluctant to come forward.

Their rules are “you must actively support abortion” and “Don’t dissent or disagree”.It is their right.
You don’t go into someone else’s’ house and not expect to obey their rules.
