Sunday Meditation: The Privilege to be a Woman

What? You think I'm a misogynist?
I once had a conversation in the parking lot with a fellow parishioner. She's blunt and a bit crusty and I like her all the better for it. She lamented that we don't have altar girls. I disagreed saying there were too many women in the sanctuary already. Testily she responded, "You're a misogynist!" and stomped off. I laughed. It's the first time anyone has ever accused me of that. I know what the word means, but I looked it up anyway. The definition is even stronger than I thought:
misogynist: a person who dislikes, despises, or is strongly prejudiced against women.
Me a misogynist? Not hardly!

Please Tell Me This is a Bad Joke....

UPDATE: December 29th -- Apparently the Vatican reposted the English version.

UPDATE: December 27th -- The Vatican may have removed the English video, but nothing ever disappears from the Internet. Check out my friend Janet's blog to download it and read the commentary. The Italian version is still online.

Who thinks these things up? Share your "vision" in a one minute video or a photo? (Sigh.) I'm with Pat Archbold at Creative Minority Report. "Just send the meteor already."
