Ignoring women
Mike MurphyI have just finished Leslie Tentler's engaging account of the church's struggle with the issue of contraception. Tentler must be commended for her fine research. She has been courageous, careful, compassionate, scholarly, and candid.
What a shame that decades of human beings (women, of course) were rarely asked to discuss a problem so personal to them. What a shame that such a personal issue received so little honest and compassionate treatment by the Vatican.
