Mary Eileen responds to the recent CDF guideline regarding women seeking hysterectomies

1/5/2019

 
Mary Eileen has provided the following response regarding the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith’s recent guideline on women seeking hysterectomies:
Once again, we confront the arrogance and self-righteousness of the patriarchal church’s position in this purported “ethical guideline” on boundary settings for hysterectomies! 
 
It is entirely unbelievable to the feminine half of the human species that such a guideline could possibly be written without their consultation or consent.  Yet sadly, this continues to be the modus operandi within the Roman Catholic hierarchical mindset.

Until churchmen experience an epiphany that opens their minds and hearts to inclusive and egalitarian regard for women, seeking their voice and experience of their feminine nature, being, and wisdom, I see nothing but a dead end on this worn out path these men continue to travel. 

Mary Eileen Collingwood
Bishop, serving the Association of Roman Catholic Women Priests
