Female bishops
Saturday, July 5th, 2008From ifeminists.net I saw a link to this column advocating the ordainment of female bishops in the Church of England and, in principle, the Roman Catholic Church too. Well, I don't know, I think allowing women to become bishops won't help them move forward, only diagonally.
