The fact that the ERA has not been fully ratified to date is testament to the patriarchal condemnation of women and our LGBTQ kin to second class citizenry.
Totes, Rowshan. And the fact is that the Catholic bishops going apes*t right now about the possibility that ERA could actually be ratified should be a red flag.
They'e reading the version of the Bible they wrote for Catholics, and the Baltimore Catechism.
How do you think they're able to reconcile acting so antithetical to the words of the historical Jesus?
The problem is that only one of those is Scripture and not even all of the Douay-Rheims Bible was inspired. Most of it is historical accounts, just like all the others.
