Male Supremacy in the Catholic Church: An Insider's View - 2479

The Roman Catholic Church is in a major crisis. At the core of this crisis is male supremacy—men who dominate the church and view themselves as superior to women. An all-loving God created everyone of equal worth and dignity. There are no exceptions! This memoir, written by a Catholic priest for forty years, addresses the injustice of male supremacy, sexism and the spiritual abuse of women in the Catholic Church. Roy Bourgeois grew up in a small town in Louisiana. After graduating from college, he spent four years in the military and received the Purple Heart in Vietnam. Leaving the military, he became a Catholic priest with the Maryknoll missionary order. He worked with the poor of Bolivia for five years before being expelled by the military dictatorship. Returning to the United States, he founded the School of the Americas (SOA) Watch, a grassroots movement that addresses U.S. foreign policy in Latin America. In 2010, he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. In 2012, he was expelled from the priesthood because of his public support for the ordination of women in the Roman Catholic Church.
