Meddling to preserve power

Jill Filipovic of The Guardian takes on the Pope. Benedict now has a Twitter account in hopes of modernizing his communication. Filipovic thinks he would do better to modernize his doctrine. Along the way she reviews the history of the Catholic Church's meddling in women's bodies and in bedrooms before taking on gays. All this reminds me of a Power using oppression to keep its place in the world. And, yes, this is the second day in a row in which I've mentioned systems of power.
