Professor Douglas Kmiec, "Catholic Church must rethink all-male priesthood" -- San Francisco Chronicle

August 23, 2018 | An article by Professor Douglas W. Kmiec, U.S. Ambassador (Ret.), titled "Catholic Church must rethink all-male priesthood," has been published in the San Francisco Chronicle.

Excerpt via the San Francisco Chronicle:

No amount of monetary damages can compensate the victims of clerical sex abuse; plus the money wrongly hurts the impressive social justice work of the Catholic Church. No, an appropriate act of contrition requires that the episcopal level of the American Catholic Church submit to the holy father its resignation en masse, allowing Pope Francis, if in prayer he discerns it necessary, to clean house.
