As a former Catholic white woman who left the Catholic Church at 18 I feel the pope needs to show his stand on this.

I left the church for it's stands on abortion and birth control. I never felt confessing to a man inside a booth is confessing to God. I disliked how men were superior over women in the Catholic Church.

My mom would ask me to go to church. I would tell wherever I am is my church.

This archbishop should made to retire.
