the new women in politics seem to be saying that we already know how to lose, thank you very much. Now we want to learn how to win.

People are quite clear in viewing nuns as the servants and the teachers and the supporters of the poor. You contrast that with the fact that the Vatican did virtually nothing about long-known pedophiles, and it's just too much.

Women and men are equal human beings.
