I mean what other conclusion can you come to when the Vatican declares ordaining women on a par with child sex abuse?
One could argue that they never took child sex abuse seriously and were more interested in what happened to the Priests than the children. The only way they were forced to some form of contrition was by constant exposure, legal action and heavy fines.
However they take oppressing women very seriously indeed, and never miss an opportunity to do so.
Ordaining women is now a 'Grave Crime'.
I'll tell you what is a grave crime you bunch of sanctimonious mysogynists
The Church's attitude to women for the last millennium or two.
In their eyes we will always be blamed for mans trials and tribulations. Their decrees on contraception and abortion are contradictory, endangering women around the world.
We are after all the embodiment of the original sin, our pain and bleeding an everlasting sign of the Lord's displeasure.
If you think I am taking this too far, ask yourself why did they rewrite the law which already provided for excommunication with the term 'grave crime'?
I'll tell you what are grave crimes:
Decades of child abuse and the frantic covering it up.
The failure to allow women the protection of contraception and the spread of disease this has allowed especially in Africa; is equivalent to a genocide.
The failure to speak out when humanity needed them most during World War II, that abject failure should be carved into the stones of St Peters.
They preach love and the sanctity of life yet fail to act upon either, except by hiding behind their own dogma.
The only 'Grave Crimes' I can think of are the actions of the present Papacy which in its conservative dogma is harming untold millions.
I remind them that their Christ preached love and understanding, its time they showed some.
Update
For those of you who doubt about the relevancy of my referral to the original sin
Women were considered to be in a state of punishment for sin.
The biblical creation stories were interpreted as having put women in a permanent state of submission to men, by way of punishment.
The Latin Fathers of the Church held women responsible for bringing original sin into the world, and for being a continuing source of seduction.
Women continued to be condemned by the theologians of the Middle Ages.
In Post-scholastic times we find real ‘misogyny’ and even persecution.
It would be wholly inappropriate for such ‘sinful creatures’ to be chosen as channels of God's grace.

By labeling the ordination of women a 'great crime' you are taking a step back in time.
