In Sunday's edition of The Star Press, there was an article by George Wolfe regarding "violence", and how the definition should be expanded to include " organizations that restrict the rights of women", which include "religious institutions where women cannot attain the same economic, educational and leadership opportunities available to men." [emphasis added]
Mr. Wolfe's personal expanded definition of "violence" would cover just about every instance where a person gets his/her feelings hurt. By labeling everyone a "victim" it lessens the impact that true violence has on people.
Mr. Wolfe sees victimizers behind every door, especially if they are Christians, or more specifically, Catholics.
As shown in Wolfe's thesis above, women are being victimized daily by the reluctance of the Catholic Church to allow women to become priests and bishops, thus denying them their rightful positions of authority.
You see, it's a power thing for Mr. Wolfe - have's vs. have not's. As all well-informed Catholics know, women cannot be ordained to the priesthood anymore than men can bear children.
Wolfe's worldview explains why so many poor and hungry Americans are slaves to entitlement programs. This is the true violence.
True violence is when children can be aborted and treated as just a "choice". True violence is when Christians are forced to cover birth control costs, contrary to their moral convictions.
Mr. Wolfe should go back to playing his sax.
